Moving water does fascinating things to reflections as seen here, where it feels like the stream is looking back, among other things.

I think it is looking back, Mark!...

A pretty amazing scene which I'm enjoying a lot. I might think about darkening it a little, but not really sure. Gets more and more interesting as I look...

Cool! I like this, Mark. You can't go wrong with blue and gold color combination and the stream does appear to be staring back. Great lines in this BTW.

Fantastic abstract Mark. Love the mix of blue, gold, and black I see a face too.

I like this as a strong abstract look with ripples, lines, patterns ,colors, and oh yes, the look back view too.....nicely seen and captured, Mark......

This is a crazy abstract, Mark! I like it. You might consider dropping the cyans and darkening the blues just a bit to bring out the gold. That's a personal preference, but this is nice as-is.

Thanks for the suggestions, they're such a valuable part of NPN. There may be an infinity of ways to process this. The original post is try # 4 for me. Here's #5, based on Nick and Preston's suggestions, where I've increased saturation, adjusted colors using selective color layers, and adjusted the dodging and burning. Hmmm, when posted, this seems a bit on the dark side to me.
