Hi Guys I need to consult something with you... I wish to ask you if someone knows why water at this picture is so blue?

First of all yes White Balance - I shoot in RAW... I think white balance is correct... and Yes water is much more blue in the winter than in the summer because of the algae right ?

Is water in the winter could be more blue because of the air temperature ? and Maybe water density. When I took this picture was 15F at the ground level. Water was very blue and I'm thinking why....

I noticed on the many pictures that farther from the water than Blue is getting more intense from dark when closer to nice blue when farther from the ground. Is is the same reason why Sky is Blue ? light filtered thru the air ?? Help me a little bit... PLEASE

BTW I was trying to work on white balance and this option was the most natural, even adding little warmer light was making this pictures "weird" in color

Darker blue is often a sign of deeper water
