I like the original very much, lack of contrast aside, as there is a neutral quality to the background trees which is very winter-like.
In your PP you have intensified hues for both background and foreground, so both background bluish cast and foreground branches reddish hue are quite evident.
It's a way to go, but personally I find a more neutral rendition more to my taste.
Or alternatively, if you like a saturated version, move slightly the hue for branches, woods and water to make them complement each other more.
Just my 2 cents, but I have weird tastes :)
Nice scene, I'd love to live in a place like that.

Majestic magical tree. This actually reminded me of Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", in the part where they cross the tunnel back from the land of the spirits and find their car covered in leaves.

CRAZY: One Brick Short

That's interesting. Being 'thick' a UK idiom for 'not too smart' (yet another euphemism : ), I thought you might be referring to "thick as a brick" and by extension to "few bricks short of wall", which is also the favourite one liner of a British friend of mine :)

What a catalogue of expressions, this one warranted a longer look.

Didn't know this one. I thought it might be 'few bricks short of a wall', but I am guessing the meaning is probably different..

Hahahaha, good one very dynamic and great framing and BW as always.
A ribbon or thereabout is well worth the risk of giving your lens a whole new, bucket shaped look :)
