Hi Fritzkurt,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have now blurred the water to remove the noise. I might go back to the original if I get time tomorrow to make it even better. There was not a great deal of PP to start with. It was pretty much my normal workflow with an added hue shift on the water.
Cheers, John

John, it's really great! Your details about the setup of this pictures in the competition thread are very interesting. I have only one question: Why after all efforts for shooting and PP did you not remove the visible noise in the background, which is quite strong in this picture?
