An idea I got from a clever filter I remember seeing that had red green & blue filters fitted on a wheel.

3 images of the stream taken one after the other with the bg and fg stationary, so only the stream moves between shots. The 3 shots then mixed down to red, green and blue in channel mixer. The three images were then brought together and layers blended in difference mode.

clever idea Colin -- the color contours follow the flow convincingly!

maybe desaturating the rock a bit would make the effect even more dramatic?

Looks like this could be a gorgeous photo location! love the old bridge and the water with the distant hills - just not quite sure about the colours in the water.

Gary - I think your right, I boosted the saturation for the colours in the stream & although I did apply a mask I don't think it was a strong enough mask.

Carol - Sure is a gorgeous location, Ashness Bridge near Keswick - the most famous little old bridge in the world (well in the English lakes anyway) . Compulsory on all calendars.

I hope you've got plenty of shots of it for the local forum too then....

We must get up to the lakes again in the not too distant future!!

Yes I've a couple of shots, will have a sort through them in a bit and post one for you. To be honest I've quite a few slides of Ashness Bridge too that I haven't got round to scanning yet

Give me a shout when you are heading up this way, be good to meet you and Dave at last.

Wow, Col, you are going really psychedelic on us

Love the scene, I would tone the colors on the water down a bit. Will go take a look at the European Forum to check the rest of the images. It looks like a nice place. Will try to go when I visit the UK (when, not if

)

Don't drink the water Colin

Electrifying work M8t and I can see a troll living under there. Great perspective and comp. Just waiting for the Rainbow trout to jump out of the water.

All the best Colin, gotta love those colours.

Nature is the master, we are just mere clickers in time.

Amazing water colours here Colin - I told you that you're too near the radiation up there...
