  I like this stronger blue much better than your first creation! It grabs the eye, and then those trees just jump off the screen! Beautiful work as always, Les!

  Absolutely stunning colors, Les! Your gallery is awesome. What created the DEEP blue water? Was it the time of day, sky or what? This is just perfect!

  @ Wanda,
To answer your question about my photo; (Betula Treasure) I got the blue color in the water by duplicating the image on a separate layer and choosing the "multiply" mode in the blend field. It saturates the color.
