I'm guessing some colour manipulation - is this Nik Color Efex Pro? I'd guess at the 'Indian Summer' pre-set. It would work better if the moss on the stones was still green; I've never seen brown moss on stones in a river.

It's a modified take on one of the YouTuber Jamie Windsor's Kodak Aerochrome colour profiles.  I basically pulled it more into the orange/browns because to create a different look to the typical red/pink. 

Interesting view on retaining the green moss on the stones.  My original intention wasn't to create a realistic looking photo, but I will try to put some of the green back in to see the effect this has.

A bit unnatural but I like the composition…

In that case, it's fine.
