    okay I gave this a shot. I used the colour adjust tool in Paint Shop pro and fooled with the blue level until it looked better (on my monitor anyway). Is this better? too much? too little?

    I think the stones look better but the water and sky have lost their impact.

    Can I have a go?

    Ok here's a couple of quickies ...

    I wanted to retain that beautiful blue in the sky but didn't like the unnatural looking blue to the water and the blue shadows on the rocks


    This one I again loved the sky but backed the water off somewhat.


    I enhanced other colours just a frag also in both.

    But how they will look to you on your monitor I don't know ... just know they look way better on mine.
    A calibrating tool like a Spider3 is a good idea to put on the wish list.

    There's a scene in the The Birdcage" where Nathan Lane is trying to be a straight man so the reference is to him practicing his Straight-ness...he was asking Robin William's if he was doing "straight" correctly! lol! It was pretty funny!!!
