Stretched the original photo a bit, toned down the green a bit with some magenta, got rid of what I thought were "eye snags," darkened it a bit to add an eerie quality, and then cropped it to focus on a mysterious corner of the lake with its play of light and shadow.

Good direction. The channel markers and blown sky definitely have to go.

I didn't mean to go for a painterly look - it just came out that way....

Added a mysterious "path" to some light, by burning, dodging, cropping. Download more subtle than thumbnail.

I sort of did my normal contrast/clarity/sharp job to this one. I did straighten the trees. I wanted to blue up the sky, but didn't know how. Or, better said, what I knew to do didn't work. So I cropped out some of it.
This image has a problem that some of mine have. I've been told how to fix it but I don't remember what I was told. Some of the small branches up in the sky have become actually blue instead of black, brown, or grey. I was told it was a light anomaly and is correctable.

I straightened 1 degree counter clockwise, reduced the size of the image considerable. Converted to B&W in NIK Silverpro 2. Texture layer and a layer mask completed the attempt.

"Down in Louisiana, where the black trees grow
Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
Got a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone
And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone
She'd go “another man done gone”
She lives in a swamp in a hollow log
With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog"
