Photographer’s Note
Hi,
Autumn has started to colour the landscape around us, probably my favorite time of the year, combinations and variety of textures and colours are endless, looking forward to capture the beauty of this very special season. This one is for a start, taken not far away from Forres in Moray-shire, Scotland. The place is called 'Randolph's Leap' and it's the River Findhorn captured here. Beautiful gorge and river with dark reddish water surrounded by picturesque forest with birch, oak and scots pine trees. Very intersting eroded rock formations. It can be very dangerous too, steep slopes, slippery grounds and strong flows especially after some rain. Two flood stones can be found here marking the height of water during the great Moray flood in August 1829. Highly recommended to visit and photograph if you are in this area.
Photo stitched from 5 vertical shots, RAW mode, tripod and CPL filter to cut reflections in the water. The larger version is still just a small preview of the original image which is over 8000 pixels @ 300 dpi long.

Hello Tomasz,
A very nice LV picture, where we see the lovely details.
You create an excellent depth and nice perspective through the long river.
I like the soft colours around the river.
Composition and presentation are superb.
Very well done, TFS.
Brest regards,
John.

Witaj Tomku, Zdjęcie w większym formacie wygląda jak zrobione w tropikalnej dżungli. fantastycznie wygląda ta woda, rzeczywiście czerwonawo zabrawiona no i ta wspaniała roślinność, mchy, porosty i nie wiem co jeszcze. Znakomite zdjęcie. Pozdrawiam

Salut Tomasz!
Un beau panoramique que j'aime beaucoup. Excellente exposition qui donne un beau filé de l'eau, et bon rendu des couleurs. J'aime beaucoup les rochers à gauche recouverts de mousse et la rivière qui se perd dans le paysage.
Félicitations!...

Hey Tomasz,
I really got a weakness for those smooth water photos. Those brown spots on the water look really good. Nice sharpness and POV. The forest could have a bit more saturation. But great panorama!
Regards,
Sebastian
