Railroad Reflection

[OneArmedScissor125]

Edited levels, brightness/contrast, hue/saturation. I'm thinking the colors could be stronger. Any advice on how to make the colors pop out more and if the reflection adds anything to the photo would be appreciated.

Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1000)
Aperture: f/5
Focal Length: 40 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0/3 EV

Im sorry for editing and re-posting without premission. IMHO, the shot is lacking a bit of contrast.

I played with the curves a bit, masked out the sky so the slight blue would remain.

Then added a cooling filter to get some more blues, then masked out the trees to get the lovely warm colours back.

Lastly added a touch of blur on a new layer with with opacity set to 10 just to get a slight dreamy effect.

It might have popped out too much, i really need to calibrate my monitor, but this is rough idea

I think, the editing did much good to the photo, otherwise, nice shot!

I think the reflection is too sharp or may be the contrast is too high... If the reflection looks little more transparent than may be it would enhance the image..

Great pic!!
