Hi Bee-- if I think of it tonight, I'll post the EXIF info for you (the original is on my computer at home).

What I can tell you is that it was a bright sunny day, but towards late afternoon. The lighting was just wonderful. I probably had the camera at around F6 and maybe around 400 shutter (I'm probably all wrong on this). I do know that it was ISO 100. The extra coloring was from a gradient map I used, then "Faded" in Photoshop using a Soft Light blend mode.

The effect is just what water does if the light is right and there are things reflected on the surface. The Koi in the shot helped to make extra ripples. Here's a link to a few more of this same kind of shot:http://www.kwitcherkickin.com/galleries/water

Thanks Bee ;-)
