[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The red Salt river in Tsitsikamma National park flows into the Indian ocean from its unspoilt forested valley, rich with bird and wild/life.
The red colour is caused, I think, by rotting red leaves washed down from the higher forest.
Please let me know if I am wrong.

Fascintaing overview shot Kieth, very nice.
Regards
Colin

Keith,

Very nice view.

Two suggestions :
- cropping the bottom a little,
- lighten the overall a little and possibly increase blue and green.

Thanks,

Emmanuel

this is an absolutely beautiful picture, the red stain i believe could have been caused by tannin, washed off from ancient forest, at least that's how it was explained to me of a similar H2O color in the north of Brazil. We might need an expert here...

This is a magnificent picture. I'll be travelling to S.A. next year and I hope to see such places.
Thanks for the explanation.
