Dear Tahir,

I liked to give a more sunset-time effect, so I played with the colors ar first:

1. I've added a curves adj/lyr
R - 63:54, 127:127, 192:212
G - 62:44, 127:114, 190:199
B - 65:40, 127:146, 190:222

2. USM on except the water area (110%, 0.6p, 0thr)

3. Added sharpness to the bridge, flowers and the big rock.

4. Created a pattern from the foliage and applied it to the frame.

Hope you'll find it useful.
