[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the ramschackled fishing harbour(-beach)of Old Harbour Bay. Every year the hurricanes destroy the wooden barns and shops where theu sell tere fish so everything is build for just a year.
These kinsd of places are hard to visit if you don't have your own bike. I can't see myself driving up here in a car and buses do'nt come here. The bicycle is teh poor man's vehicle as you can see. It brings you everywhere. Next to 'hey white boy' (in a friendly way) the next frequent thing I've heard ion the road was: "Want to sell your bike? "

Hi Gerrit, beautiful one, colorful with a good "wind effect" thanks, to the blue pareo, excellent quality and POV too.
thanks, ciao

Hello Gerrit,
The panoramic format works very well here putting the emphasis rightly on the line of multi-coloured boats. The boats are nicely balanced by the hut and the man with his bicycle. Tones are slightly sombre but not overly so; very good clarity.

Bonjour Gerrit
Très bon cadrage de ces bateaux dans ce format image.Des couleurs très plaisantes et une bonne gestion de la lumière.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement
Gildas

Gerrit,

Nice job,

Hoi Gerrit, wat een heerlijke collectie beelden heb je meegebracht uit Jamaica. Deze panoramische weergave van het strand en de bootjes -met natuurlijk een fiets is heel sterk. Heerlijke kleuren ook.
Goed weekend,
Bert

Dag Gerrit,

U koos een goed panorama beeld, wat jammer zeg dat de mensen bijna iederjaar alles opnieuw moeten opbouwen, lijkt wel processie van Echternacht.
Ja met de fiets komt u overal nietwaar, alleen men moet pedalleren en zien veel mensen niet zitten tenzij dat hier wonen, waar de foto is genomen.
Mooie samenstelling en goed reisverslag.
Bedankt Gerrit!

Prettig weekend,
John.

salut gerrit
un excellent choix du format horizontal pour donner de la grandeur a cette plage, avec des barques colorées, un contraste superbe ,beau travail
amitiés

Hi Gerrit,
a nice beach view, not easy to declare this as a harbour in my eyes. But this seems to be a question of regular use and not of any construction. The colourful boats with their owners and workers around are pleasant. Good clouds and clarity.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Ciao Gerrit, lovely view with a lot of boats, beautiful sky and wonderful colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Gerrit
Un bon format panoramique et de très belles couleurs sur cette photo. j'aime beaucoup la façon dont les bateaux "rentre" dans la photo en apportant une bonne idée de volume.
Du très bon travail, amicalement

Hi Gerrit

The wide angled panoramic format, suits this harborside shot perfectly. A superb daily life scene, with good repetition of the boats, & excellent colour & sharpness. Tfs!

Hi Gerrit,
Excellent detail and color in this well composed photo. Traveling by bicycle you really get closer to the people and undersatand the country better than id you were isolated in a car.
HLJ, Pat

Gerrit,
This is a great wide view of the harbour full of elements with a great sky in the day that you captured it nicely.great composition and a fine sharpness and colors you resulted.
anyway,Want to sell your bike? :))

mooie foto Gerrit,
goede compositie, mooie lage horizon, niet eenvoudig met dit moeilijnke licht, goed fotowerk. prettig weekend.
groet Jaap

Olá Gerrit,
uma visão interessante essa desse rústico porto, as cores ficaram ótimas, comum isso na Jamaica.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Your cycling holiday has allowed you to show places tourists don't usually visit. The row of boats along the shore is evidence of how they make a living. I like the crop. Well done

Hi Gerrit!

Beautiful place, fantastic colourful boats, excellent choice of almost panoramic framing and great light managment! Congratulations!

Hercules

Hello Gerrit,
Simple corner with the boats and the warehouse where life seems to flow so simple, so calm and so peacefully. I like this kind of views even more when you add locals to it realy showing a bit of the daily life of the place.
Good work!
Cheers.
Paulo

Fascinating view of a splendid bay with the fisherman boats. Great light and wonderful colours, very well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi Gerrit,
Very colorful scene with the old fishing boats linned neatly along this rough beach. Lovely blue sky and puffy cloud backdrop to this fine image. Bicycling is the healthy way so see the less traveled roads.

Hi Gerrit,
Wonderful shot about these colored boats. Great lights, colors, contrasts and POV. Well done, regards, Consuelo

Hi Gerrit - Very effective repetition of the boats, nicely broken on the side by bike and colorful hut... and a very pretty sky and clouds, congrats, Daniel

Hello Gerrit,
This is an interesting slice of life in a society where so much revolves around the sea..!
A discussion on the beach, maybe about today's catch...
A pleasant composition with rich colours!

Hi Gerrit
Perfect in pano format, the multicoloured boats create good graphism, well balanced with the tent & the man & his cycle on the left. Good work!
