[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Not only the food and the views are wonderful at Strawberry Hill, the birding here is excellent. Jamaica is a perfect place for some serious birding. It has 27 endemic species (only to be found in Jamaica) under the almost 400 that you can find. One of these is the Jamaican Oriole with its remarkable yellow and black suit. Here you see it hanging in one of the beautiful big turqouise orchids.

Dag Gerrit,

Gelukkig zijn daar nog veel vogels, en de wielewaal krijgen wij niet meer tezien.
Waar vogels verdwijnen sterven mensen, een oude boerespreuk, heb ik zelf gezien in de industriële kanaal zone tussen Gent en Zelzate tegen de Nederlandse grens, daar komt geen vogel meer, door de sterk verontereinigde lucht.
Vandaar dat uw foto zo welkom is in de vervuilde wereld, goed samengesteld en prettig om naar te kijken.
Bedankt.

Groeten,
John.

I simply love the picture. This is an usual view for me and the colors are superb.

Hi Gerrit

Good colour, sharpness, lighting, & graphism, in this superb tropical composition. Tfs!

Hello Gerrit,
A good capture of this little bird in the ancestral home of James Bond, whose creator had a home in Jamaica at Goldeneye and who was named after a writer of bird books. Beautiful light and shadow contrasts.

Hola Gerrit. I love the orange touch of the bird in this photo. It´s surprinsing how well such a small subject works in this photo, even in his small size, brings all the attention.

Nice bird into this beautiful image, I much like the colors and the nature showed from your photo Gerrit, well done, compliments.
Ciao
Vinicio

Un joli coup d'oeil pour saisir cet oiseau au couleurs flamboyantes. une très belle gestion de la mise au point sous cette belle lumière.
Du très bon travail!!

Dag, Gerrit. Het ziet er als paradijs uit. De kleuren zijn verbluffend, vooral het groen van de orchideeën. De vogel kan je niet missen met zijn rode kleur. Ik vind ook de lijnen zeer goed met de neerhangende bloemen. DE DOF is goed en de achtergrond laat de details vooraan goed uitkomen.

Hello Gerrit,
Beautiful tropical scene captured here. The colors are marvelously clear and bright. The vibrant yellow and complimentary blues make the perfect frame to bring out the beauty of multi colored oriole.
Regards, Tom

What a cute little bird. It seems unreal along with the unusual vegetation. Nice one.
Best wishes
Mark

Super shot of this powerful and colourful bird. Very sharp and fine natural colours.
Best wishes,
Achim

Nicely framed image of the bird and the foliage; in particular the orchid he is sitting on is a good feature. Well chosen DOF putting the background out of focus.
Well done

Ei Gerrit,
wowww fantastic definition and chromatic force!! The colors skillfully are treated and the great POV is excellent.
It is a photography very difficult to make and with a very photogenic protagonist ;-)

Hi Gerrit
You have captured the little guy in his surrondings which is a nice change from the many close up shots we often see.
Nicely done.
