My original from top
Followed by the first edit with the touches to the water and the highlights in trees.
[NOW]I toned out some of the contrasts in the gravel to blend it some and make it less noisy.
The next one down blended the trees towards blue, lessened the detail contrast, and took out some of the definition to blend them back.
Then I took sky/mountain tones and used them to redefine my water. References of rivers show a lot of open sky reflection so I felt like maybe this was the way to go.
I still want to work on the closer trees. Open for more comments or critiques and thanks to those that have chimed in. I appreciate the help bunches.
