 Thank gawd for clear water. This is the shallows of the Ottawa River, shot on a sunny day, as water rippled around rocks and helped accentuate the colours and shapes below. In essence, natural liquefiying was used :-)

Bueatiful earthy wet tones and ripply rhythm. I say it's A.

This doesn't look digitally manufactured to me. It doesn't look like there is anything to fool me into thinking it might be either.

Real I'd guess, not too much about the image that holds my interest, nothing really strong to look at for me.

I suppose this could be done in PP with a filter, but I'm guessing you used real water to create this pretty image.
