The polarizer really helps this photo in the flat light. The color of the water leads me to think this might be glacier fed. Would that be correct?

Thank you guys for your comments. I appreciate.
@Phil: No, the water of the river is not fed by a glacier. I don't know what makes the water look that way. This was my first visit to this place and I don't know if the water always look that way. Maybe it's from the limestone in this area

Nice composition and the leaves at the bottom give a point of reference and the flow of the water move me into the image. Fine image.

Real nice colors and scene. Those leaves look huge. What kind of tree are they from?

Bill,

Excellent composition and a loose, but effective use of the Rule of Thirds. There's kind of a glacial quality and color to the water that is working nicely in this scene. Everything here leads to the increasingly beautiful light as one gets deeper in to the frame. I like this quite a lot.

Very nice overall Bill, but I love what the color of the leaves in the foreground add.

Lovely shot, Bill. Nice quality of light. The colourful leaves on the fg rock make a very nice focal point.

The right part seems a bit empty for me, Bill. But overall, I like the quality of light, specifically how it's reflected from all the elements found in the scene.

Very nice Bill! The water flow and leaves on the rock in focus are great, as is the sharpness of the BG. Great job!

Hi Bill, I admit, I overlooked this. The thumbnail did not convince me. But the full version offers a very well constructed compsition and some really good light. Particularly, the upper (left) area has some exqusite light.
