Help me.

I am in need of some help on this one. The other day I tried to take some photos of a small waterfall part of a creek and the pictures came out with very little color. Here are two photos I took. I used a ND 3.0 filter and set my camera to Shutter Priority and tried various shutter speeds. The first one is a 30 sec exposure F/18 at 18 mm. Both were shot with auto w/b.

and the second shot on Manual at 1.6 sec exp at f/13 with 18mm using the same ND filter.

Obviously the plants are supposed to be green but as you can see in the picture they are not. Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong? and how to correct the problem?

I appreciate any help.

Looks like an infrared response going on here. You can get that with high ND filter levels and a camera sensitive to IR.

What camera were you using?

Nikon D70 with the kit 18-70 lens on this picture.
