Really nice shot. Great job on the water.

Another way to make the corrections that Michael mentions could be with Selective Color, and you may not need to mask anything. If you decide to do it, please repost the result. Thanks.

Thanks guys, I reworked the photo by reducing the cyan and decreasing the saturation.

Jetson, I would check your colors (make sure your monitor is calibrated). Your reds have gone "pink" which makes it look like your saturation is high or that you used a hue adjustment to take out the cyan. To improve the presentation of this shot you should add some contrast to the trees (curves adjustment). You would want to take the coolness out of the shady trees by adding a bit of yellow, then you can fine tune any specific colors by doing a Selective Color adjustment.

Great shot and well worth the post-processing time.

John
