I downloaded your original, opened it in PS and looked at the channels. The blue one was the most contrasty, so I copied it and loaded it as a selection. Then back to Layers, I duplicated the layer with your pic and added a layer mask The selection is automatically loaded. This gives a superb mask to enhance depending on the lightness of the work. I set the mode to Multiply. Thedarker parts would not be touched too much by this (black in the mask conceals). The lighter in the pic, the more it would be influenced.
The I added another copy, upped the saturation and changed the hue to greenish. With a mask I took care that only the front water was influenced. (all black with a large soft brush except the water at the front.)
Finally I cropped a bit as the light at the top distracted my attention.
It's a quick indication of a possible road. The lights on the rocks are a bit burned out and should be taken care of. Etc etc.
But this is a great capture, and very inspiring. It's always better to expect something and not getting what you envision than not to expect anything and whash away into total lethargy. Wer'e here to practice, not to be perfect! Cheer up, man: you're one of life's sublime miracles!
