Graham, I am not understanding why you see cyan! The mountains are almost the same tint as the blue bar at the top of the page. I do have a well calibrated wide gamut adobeRGB monitor. But then monitors and eyes do vary!
You are right the interpretation can be debated endlessly - it is fanciful but also "real" to the spirit of this river scene. Thanks for your views, 'though - immensely appreciated!

This one could be debated till the cows come home. I would have lightened the trees on the left and midground because of reflection from the lake. But that's just my interpretation. The cyan bothers my eye (many may miss it) as I feel it is too heavy. It's a great image to 'play' with in PS, though.
I'd use the color picker tool in PS and use the tonal value from the RHS trees to balance it.
Another one that would be excellent as a poster (or postcard!)

Great image Eb... And liked the conversation between you and Graham! It is a beautiful result, and I agree that the dark portion doesn't take away from the overall product at all. Our rivers are still very much frozen here, tho' a week of 10C weather is doing its best to change that! Kerry

You are observant, Graham! Well the relative brightness of the sky and reflection are easily adjusted in camera with ND gradusted filters. Typically, I prefer to apply graduated filters during the raw conversion. Of course there is a lot of colour and contrast adjustment in photoshop - to get things right!
I have had some criticism that the side edges are too dark. There is not much detail there and I usually darken the edges anyways. I think to have brought detail out would have required blending in another exposure. Sometimes, people ask too much! IMO, shadow detail is not so important in the woods to the left, since this is just part of the framing!

Ha! I knew it!
It was the cyan burning on the mountains that gave it away. Optically, a 'layer' of cyan would not be possible, and the sunrise reflection would be darker (shadows 101).
Still, it's a great image! Boy, I wish I were there now . . .

No rats here, Graham - we run a clean river! I'm glad you like it! It is my interpretation via single exposure and enhancement in lightroom/photoshop but no manipulation. Like all photographs it is an interpretation. The trick here was knowing where to go, when to go, anticipating the location of the sunrise and previsualizing the potential through post processing. This is not the main river channel, just a quiet back channel with restricted flow but forming nice pools. That makes for a great reflection! Do I love this part of the river? The photograph should tell you that!

Eb, the Fraser river never looked so good. Are you trying to marry it? I'm sure she feels well 'courted'.
Hmmm, I smell a rat on this one. Am I right?
