River Play Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I was on this raft and wanted to get some photos. So I had the boatmen pull over and let me out, then I scrambled on the rocks downstream to this point and took a series while they floated past. I told them to just watch the river and look natural. Of course the did the opposite and stared right at the camera. Oh well...they were having fun and couldn't help themselves. Pico Benito National Park is an awesome area of mountains and rivers in Honduras along the North Coast.

very colorful and lively picture with sharp details. very dynamic too. but you could have avoided placing the subject at the centre, if you placed the boat on the left, and gave space to the right to indicate movement towards that direction, i think it would have earned you more appreciation

The boat has a 3-D quality, whatever you did, the results are excellent, you caught the raft pefrfectly sharp, while keeping a soft subtle fluidity to the water.

Hi Ted ,it looks like there was a pretty strong current judging by the rear persons body angle.Image certainly tells a story,must be the calmer part of the river for you to be able to jump out.
