 I despise country music songs, so I wasn't really planning on entering this challenge. But I was in northern Wisconsin over the weekend, and got a number of shots that could fit with the right title. Luckily country music is so basic in its vocabulary that finding titles for any image is almost a cakewalk.

This shot was taken on a very nice Sunday afternoon at Caldron Falls Reservoir. The water here really does look like a rainbow due to it being a dark red from all the minerals in the water. Plus, using a polarizing filter meant I brought out more of the saturation, and eliminated many of the reflections that would have hidden the boat.

Post Processing:
* Increase exposure
* Decrease black point
* Increase contrast and definition
* Increase saturation and vibrancy
* Topaz Adjust
* Chromatic Aberration
* Increase vibrancy of the sky
* Increase red saturation
* Dodge the boat
* Export as TIFF
* Resize
* Sharpen Edges
* Save as JPEG
