The grass is always greener looking back.
In my rush I forgot to add a step by step guide and cannot for the life of me find where I can do it now. So I'll go through the steps I used here until I can find where to load it.
First thing I did was remove the swans/ducks from the lake using a combination of the clone stamp tool and patch tool.
I then added a selective color mask to change the colors in the top part of the image.
Next, I add a hue/saturation mask to brighten the colors on the bottom.
I then painted in the vines, grass, and cracks using brushes found in photoshop.

Water always reflects its environment...the sky should be blue, not brown...
That's the whole point. The reflection is meant as a metaphor for better days gone by. The reflection image is supposed to be incorrect. Thanks for the comment and sorry for the misunderstanding.
nice

good, very deep image, nice gl!
very good blending! a step by step would be nice though 
a few things i noticed looking at high res.. mask out the tree roots from the statue and i'd remove that little bush in the bottom right corner because it looks a little trasnparent 
thanks elphico..ihave cleared those bush part and i have added the sbs..
Ummm...you may want to remove the American flag... Otherwise, this is good. Nice subtle humor, too.
nice image but the shadows of the pastor need more work.
very thought provoking image
thank u all
Thanks for what? You still haven't removed the American flag from your image. It kinda doesn't work with the whole Jesus thing, if you know what I mean...
