Create a Mysterious and Eerie Surreal Image in Photoshop

Next, let's adjust the color of the Blacks. Create a Selective Color adjustment layer from the Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button.

Next, we will adjust the tone of this black and white image. So, create another Solid Color adjustment layer. Once ready, input the following:

#: 060b33
Blending mode: Exclusion
Opacity: 40%

Create another Solid Color adjustment layer again and input the following:

#: 4c3c2c
Blending mode: Soft Light
Opacity: 70%

#: 082a06
Blending mode: Soft Light
Opacity: 40%
Fill: 50%

Now we're all done. The final image should be similar to this:
