This is a small intermittent stream that runs through my town. It had rained for about 2 days, and the sky was still overcast when this photo was taken. There is a lot of algae and duckweed growing in this muddy little creek, hence, the green color.

In PS: crop, adjustments in levels, color, brightness, contrast, saturation, curves, slight Gaussian blur, sharpen for web.

Very nice, I like the strong contrast which makes the trees jump out of the picture.

Wonderful, I can just imagine going down there in a canoe and how relaxing that would be. The picture makes me feel like I'm there. Thanks for giving me that escape from work!

Nice shot, need to increase the glow/soft focus. Lots of stuff here would have looked really good with the effect.
