Out in a canoe? No problem, surely. Isn't the K10D weatherproof?.... I see what you mean about those rocks - they do tend to scream "look at me".
You could tone them down using a levels (or curves) adjustment layer to darken them and then apply a mask to isolate just the rocks. However, the summits of the rocks still glow so you might need to clone some of the texture of the lower parts of the rocks to their summits to reduce this. I think I prefer the colour version - it shows more variation in texture in the foliage.
