I think what threw things out here when you took it was the angular shape of the green bank. I do this all the time, something looks straight but when you get back home you can see you've been tricked.

The contrast is easy - select the area of water with the lasso tool, feather it to about 150 (CTRL/ALT/D) then contrast the selection. There are other ways to do it, but that's probably the easiest.
