Photographer's Note
View of the Guamá river taken from the belvedere of the Lighthouse of Belém.
-
The Guamá River has its source in the Coroado Mountain Range and has a length of 700km untill its mouth in the waters of Guajará Bay, in Belém, being navigable for 160km. Its basin drains an area of 87.389,54 km². The mouth of the Guamá River and the mouth of the Acará River give origin to the Guajará Bay, with a width of 900m.
Besides the city of Belém, the river also crosses the cities of Bujaru, São Domingos do Capim, São Miguel do Guamá and Ourém. From Guamá River comes 75% of the water consumed in Belém.
-
The vegetation in the foreground is called "aningal" and is formed by a plant known as "aninga"(Montrichardia linifera), common in the edges of the rivers and islands of the Amazon Forest.
-
Across the river you can see Combu Island, located in the left margin of the Guamá River in front of the city of Belém, it has an approximate area of 15 km², with rainforest covering most of the island.

The title, meaning something like "eyes of river", comes from a line of the lyrics of a song called "Olho de Boto" (Eye of River Dolphin), by Nilson Chaves, a composer/singer born in the state of Pará.

Oi André!
Uma foto simples mas muito linda!
Imensidões: do céu, do verde e do rio! Tudo contrastando com a presença da morena! Realmente, o mirante deve nos dar vistas incríveis!
Nitidez, exposição, cores, ponto de vista, composição, formato horizontal & retangular, bordas em preto & branco... tudo muito bom!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Olá André,
A composição com esta jovem a admirar a paisagem fez toda a diferença. Além de acentuar muito a profundidade de campo, deu um charme especial à imagem.
Parabéns!

Bonjour Andre,
il est large ce fleuve, ta photo le montre bien. Beaucoup de profondeur avec ses eaux presque à perte de vue. Une photo bien divisées en 1/3 avec des couleurs trsè naturelles.
Excellent dimanche.
Daniel.

Hi Andre. The view from the top in the distance is always something special. The young woman is unique, a medium for the viewer. The brightly printed dress is an important and invigorating picture element. You composed this photo very skillfully. Everything has the perfect place. Also the informative text like it very much. Regards, Wolfgang.

Excellent composition. This girl with her shining dark hair and beautiful skin really bring this photo to life. One gets a feel for how broad this river is. This would be a great cover to a tourist brochure. Congratulations.
Sincerely,
Kate

Bom dia Andre
Que título poético hein? Adorei. A composição é uma beleza e com um significado bem subjetivo. Parabéns.

Excelente perspectiva com a mulher observando a vastidão das águas. Criou-se um tema bem interessante, e a grandeza da visão nos é transmitida sem ver o rosto da moça. Muito bom trabalho, parabéns!
