Taken from the wood bridge in Darren's shot. Let me know if this looks any good colorwise. I'm still chasinig monitor calibration gremlins. There should be some nice bright blue in the reflection behind the tree.

Eric, this is a cool angle, as I did not see anyting from up there...
the water behind the tree is blue, I would like to see the leaves a bit more saturated to bring out the color.....or maybe its my monitor......but I like this shot!

I like this as well and the color looks accurate, just a bit washed out and maybe just a tad cyanish around the rock. Maybe try a gradient layer of the same image at a darker exposure to give the trees in the BG a bit more depth.

Whoa Jeremy, that sounds like a groovy trick we need to learn at the Photoshop meeting!

He's just talking about a digital blend...you know how to do that Eric...dont you?
I second every word Jeremy said...he took the words right outta my mouth.

Or you could just dupicate the background layer and do a grad blend using the "multiply" blending mode. Multiply blending mode is like putting two identical slides in a slider projector...
Of course using a darker image created by an exposure decrease in the raw converter copied into a layer would be best.
