Using photo filter
Open our picture (you can find original image here). Then copy it using CTRL + J. Call the new layer photo.
Then go to Create new adjustment layer and click on Photo filter.
We'll choose Cooling Filter (80) because we want to work on that lake and sky to bring its blue color. Choose value of 50% for density.
Now click on this icon (or press D letter on keyboard; this brings our default colors which are white and black). Press CTRL + BACKSPACE. This is because we want to mask adjustment layer.
Now click brush tool (B on keyboard), select some brush, pick white as foreground color and start painting on black fill where the lake is and over the sky. You can zoom on picture with Z on keyboard.
Now we are finished with the blue color of lake and sky. Now we can use new adjustment layer and make some changes on green surfaces but our goal was to change the blue color. More on using HUE SATURATION adjustment layer in next tutorial.
For a finish touch you can use Smart sharpen (FILTER - SHARPEN - SMART SHARPEN) and sharpen this photo just a little bit.
Here is the final image
Enjoy.

Some FAQ's
May I publish your tutorial(s) on my website?
NO - DEFINITELY MAY NOT! I don't mind, of course, any form of back link to Digital Photo News tutorials section, but taking any one of the tutorials whole and supplanting it on your website is theft. If you really like the tutorials and want to advertise them, why not just hyperlink directly to their URL?
Is it possible to submit some of my own tutorials?
Yes! I love to add new and original tutorials to ever-growing database! If you would like to submit a tutorial, fill in the contact form with as much detail as you can manage and we'll get back to you with details. There's no need to stick to a specific format when submitting, as we will do all the boring work for you if needed... and fully credit you as the author on your tutorial pages if your submission is accepted.
Can I request a tutorial?
Of course you can! I make no guarantees i'll be able to get around to your specific tutorial in any given timeframe, but I listen to audience, and if there is demand out there for a guide to a specific technique/effect, I'll be only too glad to offer my assistance. Just ask via the contact form.
