I didn't know what else to do with this, so I kept it simple and just added some clouds and a fancy border.

Using available color from the photograph, this is a saturated, contrasted, masked edit:
- Sky is first selected and saturated until blue and pink-orange appear. (Separate layer)
- Trees are selected, hue is changed to greens and lightened. (Separate layer)
- Water is selected, contrasted and lightened. Log is removed. (Separate layer)
- Vignette is added to focus attention towards mountain.
- Gradient is added to darken lower righthand corner, to lower distraction.
- Sky is copied, flipped top-for-bottom, stretched to fit water area, noise added.

Great change, Jiminy. I learned a lot! Am curious why you added noise.

Here's my attempt.



I desaturated the layer, then added a strong sepia photo filter (85%), and finished it off by adding a darkening curves adjustment layer (a funny looking J-shape).
