Hello Gerrit,
Rather you than me, that's all I can say :-) Very good capture of this rather battered road. Very pleasing light and shadow contrasts and good colours. Thanks for sharing.

Evidently you wouldn't want to drive a car on this road. :D You have used the road well as lead-in and including your companions emphasises that and draws us right into the image. The wide V at the top of the image is also an important feature of the scene. Well done

Gerrit,
rocky road? What road? It seems to me that a major storm washed most of it away as well as the tilted house in the left background. good that your trip was on a bicycle and not with a car.

Bonjour Guerrit, tu en as bien du courage et de la volonté pour affronter ces routes à bicyclette, cette une photo très impressionnant qui montre en image la puissance des fleuves, tout paraît être chiffonné comme s’il y avait eu un tremblement de terre, excellent pov l’image parle d’elle-même, je me permet (même si cela n’a rien à voir avec ton image) de t’envoyer par WS deux photographie que j’ai trouvé amusante, juste pour le cas ou tu aurais envie de suivre la route sous les pentes méridionales des montagnes de bleu, bien amicalement

Hello Gerrit,

Seems the owner of next house is in trouble. I think this is common problems in that area after giving damage to the nature or building house without giving more attention. You perfectly captured a dangerous pass in very good lights and colors. Congratulations.

Hi Gerrit,
Wonderful capture of this crumbling road. It is clear to see the damage is due to high waters. Great details and colors with a very informative note.

Hi Gerrit,
This road doesn't look very safe! Quite a broken one... the house looks like it is going to fall at any time and seems in a terrible condition too! .
Nicce light, colors and contrast level and sharp details too...
An interesting picture!

Hi Gerrit,
In most cases the presence of overhanging electrical wires puts me off ... however, you've managed to use them to your advantage here ... it creates a nice leading line. The road looks badly eroded ... just as well you were traveling by bike. Nice country side scenery. Well captured and composed ... I like the inclusion of the cyclist as it gave dynamism to the scene. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Hello Gerrit,
Superb not very common image of a landscape subjected to the climatic risks. I like the fidelity of the very natural and true scene. An image of adventurer for adventurers.
Have a nice day

Dag, Gerrit. Dit is een zeer interessant document. Niet alleen de weg is er slecht aan toe, ook het huis aan de linkerkant. Het was een goed idee andere fietsers in het beeld te brengen. Dit maakt het beeld levendiger en situeert de actie. De elektrische kabels spelen een goede rol in het perspectief van de foto.

Hi Gerrit,
I do like the way your combined the beauty of the island with information about the world. That cloud-filled V of the sky is beautiful while the cyclists and the broken road & house make the photo much more interesting and informative.

Not the type of road to be cycling at night, with good lights! Fantastic pov with good colour & sharpness. Tfs!

Hola Gerrit.
Excellent series of your trip to Jamaica, this is a very good daily life shot with the bicyclist going through this damaged road as nothing is happening, the house on the left is almost falling into the cliff, your POV is good and colors contrast are great.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

Bonjour Gerrit,
bravo pour ces coulerus fortes.
Une photo qui montre bien la précarité des routes et le danger à les emprunter.
Best regards.

Dag Gerrit,

Ik heb een zeer grote bewondering voor uw reizen per fiets, maar zoals we zien niet altijd geplaveid met goede wegen.
Het groen en de omgeving zijn zeer mooi, moet werkelijk een plezier zijn om daar te vertoeven, en regelmatig een mooie foto te kunnen maken zoals deze.
Zeer goed gedaan. Bedankt.

Prettig weekend,
John.

Hello Gerrit,
Oh a very dangerous road as i see and only with bicycle,you can cross it.I imagine how is the condition of the roads of Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.A nice reportage photo with the existence of the cyclists to add life in the shot.Informative your note too.

Hello Gerrit,
This countryside road seems to have been exposed to tropical downpour!
Going by two wheeler seems to be the wise thing to do here...
Good photo documentary, rich colours and sharp fine details!

Hi Gerrit,
Il ne doit pas être façile d'emprunter de telle route, le vélo est le moyen le plus sûr, je pense :-)
Jolies couleurs sur une lumiére forte
Have a nice day for you

Hi Gerrit,
Impressive this road!! Caught well in your photo, it seems to have suffered a natural catastrophe, as a hurricane or strong rains.
To travel hereabouts with your bicycle had to be a great adventure.
Good work, interesting and executed well.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Hallo Gerrit,
Het lijk gevaarlijk om op deze wegen te rijden, en ik denk niet dat een auto hier nite zal doorkomen. Een goed document met mooi heldere kleuren.
Groetjes

Hello Gerrit,
This travel photo of yours includes a wealth of information about traveling off the main roads of Jamaica. Too many photographers concentrate too much on the technical details and not enough about what the photograph is trying to convey. This is a very good travel photograph and I have no illusions about how trecherous off the main road traveling in this poor country can be. I would not want to get too close to the embankments of this road! Good job!

Hi Gerrit
Excellent capture. The road looks perfect for biking ;). Have you ridden there on a bike? Lovely colours and perspective.
Straight to my favourites.

Hi Gerrit,
in a rainy day it would give a little fear to happen through that old street; -)
Excellent explosion of the nature with green tonalities that are fantastic and the brightness generalized in all the photography.

Regards,

Jordi
