    WOW! I love it. Mysterious look to it and it makes me want to explore this area!

    Great shot from my untrained eye.

    This image just screams at my "Heart of Darkness". It pretty much sums up the entire book. Excellent work!

    If you've never had the mispleasure...I mean pleasure of reading heart of darkness than you can just watch Apocalypse Now which is Coppola's view of heart of darkness placed in the context of the Vietnam war.

    Normally, I would like to see more detail in both the highlights and shadows but this image is perfect just the way it is. It would probably look amazing as a 24x36 printed on metallic paper.

    Glad you like it, Michael. Thanks for your comment!

    This is a eucalyptus forest and alpine stream in the Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park in Tasmania, Australia, a wilderness area.. The shot was taken in October last year. It was snowing/raining/misty.

    Many thanks Kyle for your interesting comments. Yes, Conrad, the Congo, Heart of Darkness, Apocalypse Now and Coppola...

    The shot is darkly moody, but fortunately the subject is really benign. To me it's more the darkness before revelation, sleep before waking... than anything sinister.

    I love the darkness you have captured in the water. Some of the pristine rivers I have explored in the past have been coffee coloured...........which I love too!
    All the best,

    Hi Neil,

    With the exception of the elevation in the background, this looks like many of the rivers I explore here in Florida. Very well done....captures the mood perfectly.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    This water was the same colour as the eucalypt leaves - a pale grey-green.

    Great composition! Your eyes follow the stream up to the bend in the river and what to know what is around that next turn.

    Thanks for your kind comment, Frag Master.

    As for what's around the bend, I think it's open to whatever you like to imagine!:D
