Re-processed an older RAW file. Works? Doesn't work?

Seems really blue, especially in the water. Kind of looks like Hue was pushed pretty heavily.

Ya if you could tone the water a bit I think this would be a killer shot...even try it in a b&w perhaps...

it is a slight blue, but I really feel like I could reach out and touch that water!

Yeah, don't know what happened there...never made a hue adjustment at all. Went back and tweaked, posted the edit. Silky water is difficult to deal with, especially after it picks up a lot of blue from the sky. This was shot in early morning to capture the golden reflections off the sandstone cliffs just before full sunrise, which also accounted for most of the blues/grays.

That's significantly better. I have to say, the fiery effect in the water is fantastic.

Great image - never saw the 1st but this one is great - the golden glow at the bottom just makes this.

For those that missed, here's a smaller version of the first. Looked okay until I posted it...always good to have another opinion.

The water I like, the rest seems just a smidge blue. Awesome shot though

Looking more closely, I think you're right. Last edit and calling it quits on this one.

I ran this image on my NEC PA241W and Firefox. The color looks much better than using Chrome. The flowing water looks reasonable with the amount of blue in the image. The one spot that doesn't look all that real is the mass of whitewater just below the rocks on the left side. I would probably desaturate that section 5-10% to put a little more white in the white water. After that adjustment I might desaturate blue 5% in addition. Clarity is good, the composition is attractive, and there is a nice balance of natural elements across the frame.
