This reminds me that I often used to use Dr. Beers developer formulae back in darkroom days.   

Rochefort 8 gives very good results, trust me

I would have liked this one if I hadn't seen the first, but the first one is better IMO. Maybe have a few beers again before working on it?    Seriously though, I think you can get there by backing off on the contrast a bit and making it slightly darker, as Slobodan suggested. The highlights pop just a little too much.

Good light. I like the tendril-like water, and how it mimics the tendrils of the branches.

Thanks again for all of the helpful suggestions and comments. I produced the second version on a desktop machine with a calibrated large gamut monitor set to 110cd/m2. When I tried to darken the file with or without decreasing the contrast the file started to look muddy and the soft proofed file looked unprintable. For this version I have gone back to using my calibrated laptop set to 160cd/m2. So 2 versions, this one or one based on this for digital projection and a slightly lighter brighter version based on the second version with some of the saturation removed that will print dark and moody but not blocked/ muddy. All comments welcome
