Mucked around some with a bit with Topaz Adjust on this one. I think it still looks reasonably natural. It was pretty fogy and sun was low. 50D, 70/200 f/4 at 70mm, Av mode, 1/1500, f/4, ISO400.

Dave ,I liked the colors used in your previous post so much it's hard to see this one clearly! I do like the colors here they are unique and the sky color is great! Like your composition-see some noise or artifacts in BG prob. from the conversion.Well done! Has a moody feel.
This is totally different from the previous but works just as well and like it a lot. Has more of a conventional feel. I like how you balanced the image having he sun at the ul with the reeds at the lr From a processing point of view might try to tweak the density of the layers, having each a little different would accentuate the layer effect.
If you can post the original to see what Topaz Adjust was able to do. The only part that looks a little strange is the immediate foreground. Big Congrats !!!
This is what I had thought of posting first but did not like the really blown out sun.
I just lucked on this smooth/sharp look by running Topaz Denoise after really working on the image in PS. Dave
As per Alfred's suggestion here is the converted file. I had adjusted WB and EXP in ACR before converting. I also posted another view of same scene in Out of the Box.
Not usre I am the best to show benefits or "what Can Be Done" with Topaz.
I thought my origial post lacked colour and sharpness but did not want to over do it.
Thanks for looking and the comments.
