[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Alex Hailey wrote a book 'Roots' which was filmed in TV series many years ago and it caught a storm. The word 'root' is a basic structure of hierachy.

In our human history, the family structure is linked to our roots tracing back to ancestors. Our root is also scientifically linked now to DNA.

In tropical rainforests, clean environment and fresh water is very important to village living. More and more people are aware of conservation and preservation. In short, protect Nature's gifts to human kind.

In this scene, the water flow is quiet and slow, the roots creep their own way to find foothold and grip, for survival and for nourishment.

I will never go to a place like this AND observe details of this nature, if not because of photography. The hobby has transformed my outlook in many ways not described.

In every excursion trip, we bring back something on digital card and we ponder over it at quiet moments of realisation and wonderment that it is a great world out there.

AND we get to share it worldwide, on a tiny screen here, from a website called TL. Amazing, isn't it?

This is a re-visit. It was raining on the way to get tehre, but upon arrival, rain stopped.

I hope you enjoy this tropical lush forest mood and tone.

Regards
Bill

I like the low angle Bill it gives the picture a nice depth, maybe the streaming water is a bit to light but still a good one.

Hi my friend

Excellent POV..nice technique with the milky effect...only thing like our other colleagues has said is that the waterfall is a bot OE...other than that is just beautiful.

i have workshop for you,only cropped the lower part..much better...;)

Hi,

Couple of thinks come to mind.
It is tilted to the right. Once you are using a tripod, you could close down the lens more for larger DOF. Did you use a cable release or the timer, because it looks a bit motion blurred, that could happen when you press the shutter.

TFS,
Pedro

nice captur!!!!
