You should be able to see a fishing line passing just over the heads
of the fisherman.

It's very clear, but is it just me, or does the photo have a blue cast
to it? Color is something I've always had some problem with, so I'm
curious what others think.

There is reflection of the greenery off the water which is making some
things a little on the yellow/green side, but there is nothing too
alarming.

I would make sure that there are good black and white points set. Then
tweak the WB, preferably with a good neutral grey target.

Here again is the original retitled -1.

Here I have found the only remotely gray pixel and used it to
rebalance the color:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-7500487-2.jpg
The initial effect was to cause the two fishermen to fade into the
background so I have slightly tarted them up so as to make them a
little more visible.

I now have to say that the first image undoubtedly had an excessive
green tint. Apart from anything else, I find LR's 'Vibrance' tends to
do that.

Regardless, it is a nice scene and the line is visible.

And the most succesful neutral gray that I eventually picked was the
gadget leaning to the right as though bracing something to the right
of the picture. It now has a yellow handle.

How is this one for color?

That seems to have all the bases covered regarding color, but there is
a degree of artificiality, which I suspect is due to NR being pushed a
little too far.

...but I am probably wrong.

I am afraid you are. There is no NR.

It may be be my sharpening. I tend to mask rather heavily. The effect
is clear edges without having every pebble and leaf standing out.

it did, leaning a little towards cyan.

no it doesn't.

Now everything is purple. Maybe it's time to calibrate this monitor...

Ah well, this is my "utility" computer.

Depending on the scene, I find that many times if I push "Vibrance" to
the right, I have to back off on "Saturation" a tad.

Isn't this stuff fun?

Hmmm..., I would probably have gone with the middle stripe of the
whiteish gizmo in front of the right side of the tent. The object on
the right of the image doesnt look close to neutral to me, it seems to
have a blueish tint.

Okay, I looked at this on my good computer, and I see now that the
first photo was indeed green, not blue. The second photo looks normal
now, except for that path behind the tents. It just looks like it has
a color cast, and I am assuming it should be neutral.

it worked when he posted it. if you read the followups, you'd see he's
updated it and posted a new version.
