An unscheduled delay in traveling to Milford Sound gave me the opportunity to explore one of the many rain forests along the way.  Luckily this was right next to my camp ground, so I had plenty of time to explore and find compositions, of which there were many.  I was drawn to this scene by how the trunk of the tree on the left has been shaped over time into a soft curve that beautifully frames the rest of the forest beyond providing a wonderful depth to the image.
