Another one taken down the River Exe, it was a cloudy day so the rest of the shot was quite dull so I felt selective colouring was the way to go!
Due to the fact that I'll be working on site in Scotland for the forseeable future, I probably won't be able to respond to comments straight away, but will try my best, and will definitely get back to you eventually!
As always, feedback and constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated!

@MaryB: Thanks Mary
Selective colouring fits perfect here. I like this very much. I'm working on a photo showing a b&w cat with green eyes in the same way. So you can uses the coloured part to focus on details... Cya Wys

I love what you've done with this, it must've been tough getting the reflections.

@drphoto: Not as difficult as it looked, I just copied the canoes and the reflections into a new layer, changed the original layer into B&W, then used the magic eraser on the copied layer! Alot easier than I thought it'd be!
Great shot, the reflections are marvelous and post processing is spot on
