Thanks everyone for taking time to add a comment, and for compliments. This fog is real; I shot this picture around 5 AM, just before Sunrise. I want to go back to this place, and explore around with my camera, but this forest leftovers are usually under water throughout the year. Human made lake. Huge part of Rain Forest is destroyed in order to make this lake, and I am not sure why. Well, most of human impact on nature is bad and hard to understand. Thanks again.

Hi Penelope, thank you very much for compliment. This picture is not from Bosnia, this place is in Washington State, close to Seattle, close to Mt.Rainier.

fantastic .. is it human nature to drain the resources from everything in nature that benefits us? .. it is what we do .. and we have about 7 years to do something about it before it has a permanent effect on the entire earth.
I deal with this everyday in my profession.

Beautiful! What equipment and settings did you use in this capture?
On 12 March 2008 Sanjin Jaganjac said:
Thanks to every one of you for taking time to look and write compliments. I appreciate your support.
I used Canon 5D to capture this photo with a following camera and lens settings:
Focal Length: Canon 100-400mm L @ 180mm
Aperture Value: f/5 .0
Shutter Speed: 2 min.
ISO: 50
In addition, camera was on tripod, I used ND filter to prolong exposure time.
Thank you.

Great picture - Is this what they call the Orton Effect??? or something similar??
On 12 March 2008 Sanjin Jaganjac said:
Interesting point regarding Orton Effect, I does look little bit like Orton Effect, but I didn’t combine two images to produce mine, so in this case this is not Orton Effect. For those who wonder what the heck is Orton Effect simply this is when you take one picture out of focus and one in focus, and then you combine two images. Name Orton is a last name of photographer, who started this technique, and I cannot remember his first name.
I cannot remember what I did here, but it might be that I used Glamour Glow filter in postproduction since all pictures are in raw format. Background is out of focus because I used f/5 with a zoom lens, and picture is taken ~100 meters away from the subject.

This hits me like a knife. I lived in Renton for short while as a child and we would go up to Rainier often. I didn't realize this had happened.

Shocking... brilliant image but shocking.

Sad and beautiful image, is curious how that it shrinks the heart is a fact at the same time a so beautiful image. You have shaped the feeling of the trees. Very good photo, well found and perfect for the subject. Congratulations for this and for many other. You have my vote.

When I thought about the theme 'Human Impact', this was the photo that I thought belonged on the issue's cover. Please keep taking such wonderful and important photos.
