Context: There was SO MUCH traffic when we entered the park, so I had very high expectations of how the rainforest was going to look. In the past, I never felt like I was good at compositions in the forest and I was rather nervous. When we arrived inside the park, there were a lot more evergreens than I anticipated. I thought the entire forest was going to look like a bog since that’s what I saw on social media. Overall, I wish I could have spent more time to find more compositions. I feel like editing a photo containing tall trees while on ground level is incredibly difficult. The extraneous leaves and branches always make the picture look messy and it is hard to frame. I usually like to have a clear subject in my photos, but with a lot going on, it's difficult to differentiate what the actual subject is. I tried to lead the viewer's eye into the frame using the bark since there is a lot going on with the leaves and branches.

I’m starting to post again! If you like my work, please consider following me on IG!

rain forests vs jungle. you're looking for jungle. Puerto Rico has the only tropical rain forest within the US. It also meets the criteria for being called a jungle
