I desaturated all of this photo except the h2o.

What a wonderful photo, even though you used a desaturater, lovely image, 9/9, marc

strange colors - hand tinted?

I uploaded the image I started with to get this. So if you're interested: www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=375847

except from b\w & color mixing (maybe because I tried it my self..) I really dont

like computer editing ,anyway this one is really beautiful ,I think the marks should have been much higher! , well done.

Composition looks good, colors are wonderful, love the way you did it. Your camera might have been a tad off center, I would check it to be sure. Nice one though.
