Thanks Philippe

Yes the water really is that colour.  It is a Scottish water thing.  I used
the ExpoDisc to set manual white balance first.  It was a cloudy day and the
river is lined by trees which overhang partly.  There is a huge waterfall at
the Falls of Shin in the Highlands of Scotland where the salmon leap up, and
a viewing platform to wait for them.  I pre-focussed on the middle of the
river and got lucky!  Another day I photographed some deer, they are in the
same album.

Best wishes,

Matthew

Wow!
Being a cityboy: is that water color natural?
Thanks for showing,
Philippe
