Default river shots on my way home

Vaal River: one of the premier rivers of South Africa in the Parys area(The Oldest and largest meteorite impact site in the world.)
The river has a wider and shallower bed with small rapids.

(I'm planning to go back there for crater shots someday soon, maybe mid summer.)

Default great colours

I've always had difficulty in capturing beauty in brown waters - nicely done!
3rd and 4th photos are well composed - polarizing filter or post processing?

Thank you....yes the brown waters always looks a bit dull, so I used my polarizing filter and processed the raw files with cool/warm effect. It is my first "dreamy water shot" but wish there was more time to walk around the scene.
