[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The fishermen on the Morant Cays are strong. They have to be to live the life they do. Some of the best fishing grounds, such as Decca Ridge or Eight Mile Bank, are several kilometres away from the cays and are in deep water often in excess of 60m deep.

To be able to pull up a trap, like the antillean Z traps you can see in the distance, which are often loaded with many kilos of fish, one has to be strong. You see if you are not strong you could easily fall over-board. And if one falls over-board it won't be your strength that saves you from the many sharks that will be swimming round the boat fighting amongst themselves for any returned small fish.

For if you fall over-board into the path of the ferocious sharks only Jah will be able to save you from an almost certain death. And in the eyes of a shark, what better meal than a big fish compared to a small one?

Hey Casper,

A good photo. Lovely colors and clarity, the engine is not very obstructive and fits well in the composition, for me at least. A good motive.

Enjoy.

Hello, Casper,
this is a really nice image. Great color, well composed, beautiful light and scenery. Excellent note, too. For some reason, though, there is a lot of noise in the sky. I did a small workshop just to clean it up. Hope you don't mind. Thanks and best regards,
Shelly

waou, beautiful picture and beautiful man. I 'd like to be trapped in that box ! Geraldine

Hi Casper, i read your note this afternoon and it fascinated me ... as much as your picture. This is a great upload and of course the WS adds something more in PP, just a tip in PP, neatimage, don't hesitate to try it ! But anyway your shot is great and that's the most important thing, what a body !! Amazing !!
I wish i was built like that but perhaps will never be, there is something wild, smething strong, something jah as you told it, jah world, so exotic picture, a pure delight for me.
Perhaps i'll go there once in my life, when i'll be old and have my life done, smoking grass and enjoying wildlife, believing jah and listening to jah music, raagae and raggaeton ... ok i'm already doing this ;)
Excellent mister Duppy
