I like the contrast of this picture between the water and the trees and the fact the water just seems to drop off into nowhere. The original photo was very dull as can be seen below.

I started off with separating the trees from the water by copying the picture and erasing the top half. I then saturated the trees to a nice hue of green so that it was still realistic. I then saturated the water section with it's original colours which I thought were quite nice. The red tones make it seem all the more Australian. To finish the photo I cropped the top and bottom (especially the spindly tree branch in the water. Finally I lightly sharpened the whole thing and tadaa! A beautiful picture.

I just noticed when looking at the edited version some cloud looking shapes in the water close to the trees. I wonder if they are clouds? But it has given me a good idea. I'll add a layer of clouds to the water with a high transparency. Now where did I put that picture of clouds...
