Cascade in Blue

Best viewed large.
Shot in a small stream in Royal National Park just south of Sydney Australia.
The blueness of this shot is a mystery to me. I’ve noticed that if you shoot moving water just after sunset it does tend to bring out the blue wavelength, especially if you use a polarising filter oddly enough. But I’ve never got this intensity of blue since. I made some adjustments to the curves and levels in PS to accentuate contrast a little but there is no colour manipulation to the water – this is how it came out! The only thing I can think of is that for some reason at that particular time and the particular angle I was taking this shot the auto colour balance in the camera was fooled into boosting the blue wavelength but this still doesn’t make much sense to me. Any other suggestions (short of radioactive material being poured in the water upstream lol)? I’ve actually got some even bluer than this but, quite frankly, they look so over the top it looks like I went nuts with PS so I haven’t posted them.

this is quite a stunning photograph. The blue color, hues, and light is superbly presented. The placements of the rock in the composition creates wonderful perspective and the lighting complement the texture on the rocks. Well done

Cool. My film turns blue in dark areas or before sunset. I like it, and use it to my advantage.
Looks like a plasma stream.
