Your opinion, please.
I'd like your opinion on these renditions of the same shot. I process to get deep color...not so much to produce a photo that looks "real" as to make an image that I like.
If you're doing it for you and if you like them that's all that matters, but Since you asked for an opinion I'll give you one I'm not a big fan of the deep blue water
I don't see very much difference in the three pics. Nothing striking at all.

You said you wanted to process to your liking, not to produce a photo that looks real. If you like the way these look, why would you want our opinion on them.
Since you asked, I don't like over processed images.
will
As others have said, they look over-processed. If that’s what you like, that’s all that matters, I suppose.
Second verse same as the first. If the image is on a velvet pillow, then I'd go with #1.
I might be able to tell a difference between them if I could make the images bigger. In this small size, they look virtually the same to me. Consider clicking the download button the next time you post images.
I’m a fan of processing for pop .. metal prints .. and the like .., therefore #2 ... ..Good Luck ., it hasn’t been very Positive so far from the replies .., FYI .. post the download version when asking for photo comparisons .....
You can PM me the download version .., I’ll examine them in detail as well as offer PM post downloadable variations as examples with my reply ..

Just an addition to my initial comment if your intent was to make what I consider an unrealistic contrast between the water and other aspects that was accomplished. But if your intent was to make the contrasts subtle and somewhat Realistic I wouldn't consider That accomplished here.

It is hard to tell with out Download (Save Original) any of the detail. I can't tell what you did, just boost Color and Contrast or try to create an Oil Painting effect. I sometimes play with images using Topaz Impression II to create "paintings" out of photographs. But they are never a replacement for a well presented photograph for me. I sometimes go for wild software Solarization and Edge Effects. But usually I strive for traditional "film like" natural renditions of scenes. I am much more open to experimental images by other people than my own. From time to time I may make a highly processed image I like.
Yes, your three are not all that different from one another. I would like to see your image as an "oil painting" where I can see the "brush strokes".

The stream is unnaturally too blue. Otherwise, great photo!
Looks too overdone to be attractive to me.
for what it's worth, i'm coming down on the side of the first two responses .. just one guy's free opinion, and no doubt well worth the price
I like the photo except for the blue water, doesn't look natural.

Shel B, my opinion for what it is worth, I like the color depth you like along with the lightened areas of the woods. Like I said, my $.02.
