River Kwai floating village

I know, the sky is a bit blown...

Given some of pictures I know the countryside they are from very well of, and of which the colours were dreadfully wrong in suggestion (more than maybe technics), I didn't get the 'river kway' impression we all know from this image, so I thought I'd see if the material does hold that impression somehow. I discovered the background are trees, too (not just burnt sky), and came up with this. Of course I threw all the materials away afterward, it was just a comment, I wouldn't want to go against copyright.

Hoi Theo, I appreciate your greening trial, but I'm afraid that it's not exactly as my camera (auto white balance) saw it. I agree that I did some PS on the photo, but only used levels, USM and contrast. No color change was applied. In the early hour the photo was taken, the sun had just risen above the trees at the left and hit the floating cabins and the mist rising from the water.
