A scene from the Concord River in Billerica a couple of years ago (you can tell it’s not this year because there’s not 5 feet of snow on the shoreline).   I have to admit that I was a bit let down by how this renders in the browser’s colorspace — the blues are much more vibrant on my monitor in Lightroom.  That single leaf trapped in the ice also appealed to me a bit.

Technical: Canon 1D Mark II, 24-70mm f/2.8L at 28mm, 1/125 second, f/13, ISO 200.  Filter configuration unrecorded.
Lightroom 3:  Lens correction applied, exposure +1/4 stop, fill 48, blacks 35, clarity +37, vibrance +7, sharpened to taste.  White balance was set to 6300K – which probably isn’t far off from “reality” (such as it was).  This was one of those images where the white balance dramatically affected the intent of the image.  Keeping it around 6000K balanced the warmth of the setting sun with the cool ice reflecting the sky.
