Photographer’s Note

Pujant en curiara pel riu Carrao, amb l'Auyantepuy al fons. A una horeta del salt de l'Angel. La curiara és una barca feta amb un enorme tronc buidat per dins.

Going in curiara, a kind of boat made with a empty tree, by Carrao river, just before we arrived to Angel Falls. In front, Auyantepuy mountain.

Such unspoiled beauty. I love the colors and the sky is glorious. A wonderful capture of breathtaking beuaty.

Me encanta la composición. Incluir la figura humana le da a la imagen su verdadera dimensión... y el polarizador le ha dado un volumen exelente a las nubes. Así a primera vista, creo que una version en B/N puede ser de lo más interesante. Luego te mando un Workshop. Buen trabajo!

I like the live colors of your photo,it's more like a beautiful painting/such a nice idea to have his body as the first plan & the fact that it has occupied so much of the picture surface.
Bravo,Jordi.

Very nice composition of man ,mountain and river...good decision to have the man in all horizontal planes from water up to the sky.Incredible cloud formations floating over the cliffs.

very beautiful and clean shot. i like the variations of blue colour and the idea of including the man's back. gives a sense of approaching and going foward

Beautiful colors, wonderful composition. The place looks very peaceful and the inclusion of a half naked man implies freedom. Good take!

I like this shot, classic composition - a man in the front of the boat and a great landscape around... but it still works.
Each time I take a boat I try go get a shot like yours - a boat and the surroundings.... and if there is someone in the front of the boat, then my picture is like yours ;-)
nice shot

Excellent, Jordi. I like these blue tones and the heavy sky. The man, because of his posture, seems to be impressed by the possible angriness of Nature. Well seen.

Amazing sight Jordi !!
Mind Blowing..
But frankly I dont like the sight of the man here. Somehow doesnt appeal me :(

With just the boat in the foreground it would have appealed me a lot more !!

But lovely sight this.. Wish I could be in LAtin America some day :))

Jordi, I feel like I am in the canoe! Having your companion in the photo really made this picture come alive for me! This is a brilliant picture and I appreciate your eye view of this incredible part of the world. Well done!

Ce que j'aime dans la photo c'est de pouvoir faire partager mon voyage. En regardant ta photo, j'ai l'impression d'y être ! Merci.
