 I shot this at the last minute. The sun had set and the sky was a brilliant pink. I turned and looked down stream and saw the light reflecting off of the water. I could not believe the color!! So I shot it, I hope you all like it..

Well it looks like people are just not believing the colors. This is really what I saw.. Anyway's not much done in Photoshop except to crop, resize and sharpen..

Wow, the water kind of looks like blood... or wine. Great colors and very nice DOF.

By the time the evidence of the fierce and deadly battles of the north began to show in the more peaceful lands of the south, the streams and the rivers flowed in a rose hued torrent of the blood of those slain in battle. However, unlike the battles themselves, which were ugly and violent and filled with horrors unimaginable, what came down out of those lands was not so. No, not so.

For it was beautiful.

It does look quite cool but seems over photoshopped to me, maybe that was the colour of the stream .... still quite a nice image though

How odd... is the river actually that color? Nice and sharp where it needs to be... and blurred where it needs to be... I don't much like the color of the river... If that's actually the color it was... amazing. (not voting yet)

excellent details and smoothness - not a big fan of the choice of color in the water (maybe it was really that color but it seems a bit too much to me)
