Here is an image I’d like to make more punchy, and for which I tried to enhance the water transparency while avoiding clipping (with the idea of potentially printing it afterwards).
Have fun 
Regards

Cropped a bit to sink the boat on the left. I was finding it annoying.
Then I did the white balance and tweaked vibrance to get “vacation” colours. Finished with touch of Sharpen.
The colours are a little too much for sRGB, but here’s mine. Used enhanced colour matrix in input colour profile.
Playing with the contrast slider of AgX in DT to put “punch” into the picture.

Great image. Here I have done silly things with my Luminosity Mask plug-in and the Channel Mixer!
Thank you, it’s always really interesting to see how each person uses the different modules — I learn a lot every time
A mooring nightmare. lol
Yes; had re-create a boat (blended parts of one boat with the other and such) which was a pain and if easily can see how bad I botched this (and it took well over 40 minutes to do; losing my touch), but not at first glace. lol
I then packed the boats via LqR and then added a few additional boats with ones that already are there but shifted the color to make it look different (it’s what I do). Overall, it took nearly 2 hours so give a poor guy some slack, please. lol
seamless texture:
To Terry; please let me know if I can share the seamless texture at my Deviant site; haven’t shared one there in a long while and would like to use this texture for that. I’ll also share the link to this thread as reference of course.
That’s fine for me, even though I don’t know what it implies
Appreciate that, Terry. I always ask permission if I use an image from originator if not from a free to use and share search. Below’s the link to the Deviant site (only post seamless textures at Deviantart).
OK; why not a vortex (i.e, down the drain) as well. lol
Yes; I pretty much am a one shot pony but continue to like doing these nonetheless. lol
I like @Dito_Budi’s darker greenish colours. But I struggle a bit with the on old trimmed grainy look.
