Up the Indian River Photo

Photographer’s Note

....I make my way into town and find the mouth of the Indian River. When a cruise ship is in dock in Portsmouth, passengers flock to the Indian River for a boat tour up its waters. But today, the landing is thankfully empty. I find a guide and start our way up the lazy waters.

The river narrows, the vegetation changes, and soon are floating through a tunnel of mangrove trees, the branches low and heavy, blocking out the sunlight. The tangled roots twist and curve, making knots and bundles, like a hundreds of snakes slithering over one another. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

I like the composition of the photo and the sense of depth, even though the man is blurry.

Hi Jenny,
an absolutely great picture.
The rainforest and the POV as well as the rowing man are great. I like the definition and the colors (especially those of the worn out rowing blade)

Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Hi Jenny,
Great shot, you can feel the peacefulness and beauty of the Indian River. We were there in 1997 and the memory is etched in our minds.
regards Arnie
