A very nice composition! I like the color of the rocks.

Can't quite get past the color.. I suppose tannic acid from leaves or something? Like the comp, though..

Tim,
Good to see some more posts from you and glad you had a nice trip. I do have to say that this image isn't doing much for me, except although not too photogenic...the water is different and makes me wonder why it is that color.

I am told it is the peet in the soil that washes into the river that gives it this gold color.
Did you walk (a portion of) the Pennine Way? Your posts keep having familiar names to them.......and, it's kind of tricky shooting there, isn't it?
Peat is very acidic. The acid frees iron in the substrate rocks &c, which gives the water its red tone. I'm told something similar happens in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.

Eric, I did not get a chance to do any real hiking. We met up with a small group of hikers at our B&B. They were doing the coast to coast hike. Sounded like a lot of fun. They have van services that move your luggage ahead to the next B&B as far down the road as you tell them you want to hike that day. I believe the Pennine Way runs north to south along the "mountain" range. Would be a great hike as well.
