Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the rushing rapids of Boyoma Falls toward the intricate wooden Wagenia fishing scaffolds with the lush rainforest shore and distant cathedral spires in the background, showing rainforest leaves and river rocks in the foreground, the foamy rapids and timber scaffolds in the middle-ground, and the vast Congo River rainforest horizon fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the multi-tiered equatorial rainforest canopy, oil palm groves along the river, and riverbank vegetation.
