I took this photo on 21Jan2006 from the Canopy Tower at Posada Amazonas along the Tambopata River, a tributary of the Amazon River in southeastern Peru. I attempted to capture the vibrancy of the rain forest in the moist atmosphere and very hazy sunlight.

A powerful picture: the turgid s-curve of the river, the dense canopy of trees and undergrowth and the the heavy mist overlying it all tell the story of this other worldly land. Excellent!

Great vantage point, strong comp and I think you did a great job of capturing the sunlight on the mists. I like it a lot.

I really like this. Shows the raw beauty of this endangered land.

Nice scene, Ronald. I like the misty light: It gives a lot of drama. My only nit is the two very dark areas in the foreground and the out of focus branches on the right. I like the implied S-curve of the river.
