Photographer's Note
In Bonito there is more than 500 classified caves but only three of them are opened for the tourism activity: The Grotto of Blue Lake, Grotto of San Miguel and The Anhumas Abyss. The grottos present rocks of calcareous formation and some of them have lakes with crystal clear waters with tonality of colors between blue and the emerald green. The Blue Lake Cave is a cave with calcium formation that got the blue lake inside. There you´ll find 293 steps opened in the rocks in a sinuous trek that will conduct you to the blue lake. Expert divers have never reached the bottom of this lake. No one knows for sure where this water comes from, as the rivers in the region have a greenish color. People believe there is a subterranean river feeding the lake. The sun rays on the water create a spectacle of rare beauty.

this is a great shot. I specially like the colors and the contrast between the foreground and the background. as a suggestion, I would say that you could use a smaller aperture, increasing the DOF ( I really would like to see the rocks in focus). But is a wonderfull shot!! Best regards.

Olá Marco Aurelio,
You had a great "photographic eye" to present the image this way, with a very tight FOV.
The contrast of colors looks great. Well you have just added a new place to my list of locations that I "must" visit. Thanks for that!
Best regards e muito bom final de semana,
Carlos

What a scenic place. It's a pity the picture is too noisy, but this ave must be amazing to discover. The colors are superb and the composition is interesting because it allows a large place to the stalactitic roof. Thanks for sharing !
