Post Process - basic IR stuff - levels, channel mixer, hue/sat adjustments, selective desat, NI on sky and water, minor cloning at bottom of image to remove some stray leaves, burning, USM, resize and border.

Nice shot, but I've seen it one too many times in recent challenges -- that brings it down a bit for me, and prevents it from really popping. As compared with the other recent shots (which may or may not be yours), I don't think this is as good because there's not great definition between the trees or as interesting lines and forms to carry the composition -- this one is all about the processing technique, and that alone isn't enough to carry the day for me. 5.
Wonderful blues - A red boat in the foreground would just make it - But of course I know that wouldn't possible. I just think it needs a little foreground interest.
Not sure what Narnia has to do with the Four Elements and not sure why you went for this title. Perhaps a more fitting title would do the image more justice in this challenge. It is an impressive image and well processed, I just fear that some might score your image lower due to the lack of relevance to the challenge category. 9
