Mind sharing your workflow ?
I am out traveling and shooting now, so I don't have a lot of time to answer.
But briefly, first off, be sure to expose without blowing highlights... that's a real key... 
Next, I processed it in ACR, Pulling Highlights to -100 and Shadows to 100 to expand the DR. I then will adjust the exposure if needed, and if any highlights start to blow out, I use the white slider to stop it.
Then it's adjusting the Clarity, depends on the shot, anywhere from 20 to 40. I can then add a little contrast in ACR also, and if the highlights start to blow out again, I adjust the White adustment again.
I save it as a 16bit tiff, open it in CS6. I then use layer masks, one for the sky to adjust it's contrast and brightness by itself, then one for the ground, and then finally one for the water flowing. I then will use the contrat adjustment, or the levels adjustment to adjust the 3 area's separately. The water gets it's own layermask primarily because the water turns way too blue too easily, so I often will desaturate it a bit to keep that it check.
That's not all of it, but that's it in a nutshell. If you have any questions be sure to ask as I am running out of time here. It's getting late and sunrise comes early!
