[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My biggest surprise when visiting Jamaica was the amount of garbage littering the beautiful scenery. While on a bus from Montego Bay to Ocho Rios, we stopped at a fruit stand and I saw this combination of a beautiful beach, giant billboard, and abandoned vehicle. I thought the scene was so bizarre that I had to capture it.

I like the concept, and the composition is good, but the horizon is quite tilted, and this could be corrected in about 30 seconds in Photoshop.

It is a lovely shot! Since someone else already commented on the tilt, I'll leave that alone. Its a lot of great colors. Nice Job!

You've captured alot of amazing colors in this photo! The tilt has been noted, and it looks like it is slightly out of focus. I wonder if sharpening the photo would help???
