Hi Stefan,

This was shot on a low end Powershot and this is the highest resolution there is for this image.
Is that going to be a problem?

I'd be interested in giving this one a shot first.

First step for me is to decide what hierachy i want of the elements in the image.

I would try to process this one for branch, river, bridge.

I can either edit the low res version or if you like you can email me the high res and I will hit that.

will leave all the layers visible in Photoshop and outline the steps I went through in a small doco to go with it.

Haven't purchased the 650 yet nor the 18-55. I am still using my nephews 60D.
Are you suggesting wider than 18?
Are you suggesting a CANON 10-22 or a PRIME Wide Angle Lens?

Thanks h2 I always benefit from your comments.

I'd also crop off about the lower 1/4 to get rid of the centered waterline Yeah it does look a bit top heavy, even though I liked the foreground h2o Thought I'd bring your username into good use in describing water.

I see your point though with the centered waterline.
You are correct A610 does not shoot RAW. Yes this was a jpeg image.
Thanks, all the same I appreciate your comments.

Comment by h2:
Nothing really wrong with this shot; a bit too cool white balance for my taste.
You just need a wide angle lens (saw you purchased the 650; the 18-55 is slightly wider than this)

"...that PNG would not lose resolution in editing, particularly in rotation of image "
Nonsense.

As far as enhancement goes, depends on if you shot in RAW or JPG (but I guess the A610 doesn't do RAW?). In RAW you could virtually change anything, starting with a slightly warmer white balance maybe, over to less contrast and/or highlight recovery etc.
On the JPG you could add a warm filter (In PS CS2 somewhere under Image-> Adjustments ->)
I'd also crop off about the lower 1/4 to get rid of the centered waterline
