Overprocessed waterfall

[bratha]

Hi all,

I can't quite decide what I think of this. At first I loved it, then I hated it, now I'm about halfway.

It definitely doesn't look natural... but I'm fine with that. I like a stylized look. I'm just not sure if I've pushed it too far.

Basically the processing was just shifting the balance on the colour mixer (Doubling red, halving blue and green), and then some dodging/burning and highlight recovery.

Love to hear your thoughts!

EDIT: Just noticed the saturation was killed on the upload too (must have been the upload to TinyPic). Doesn't change the output too drastically though, and the question stands.

I like it, but something about the composition is a little off to me. I'd like to see it cropped a bit closer (taking some off the left side of the photo) but then again that's just my personal preference.

I see that you said some of the saturation was lost in the upload, which is something I'd like to see more of, the greens, yellows and reds need pop a bit more. Also it seems way too sharp. Maybe that's what you were going for? I tend to like my landscapes to be a little softer.
