[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the north-eastern part of Jamaica, in the Parish of Portland the landscape is dominated by the lush and pristine rainforest of the Blue- and John Crow Mountains, together forming the biggest national park of the country.
The north Side is the best for nature hikes. Only two (unpaved) roads connect the tiny villages of Maroon people taht live here along the Rio Grande. It is the greenest parish of the country, teh annual rainfall is 5000 mm, what makes it the wttest part of the Carribean.
The history of the aera is very interesting because it is a state in a state where a colonel rules since the English signed a peace treaty with the Maroon inhabitants in the early 19th century.
Mre aboutb this in my next posting.

Une superbe contraste entre le vert de la végétation et le bleu du ciel, une belle utilisation de ces deux arbustes comme cadre naturel.
Du très bon travail!!

Het is mooi daar gerrit.
de view is prachtig, helaas komt het op de foto altijd anders over dan hoe mooi het werkelijk was. ik heb dat vaak meegemaakt met vergezichten met name in LaPalma de canarische eilanden. Trouwens ook een fraaie bestemming zeker voor zo'n fiets fanaat als jij. Mooi werk.
groet jaap

The view looks beautiful and I like how you framed it with the trees in the foreground. You captured excellent detail in the clouds, which are also an important part of the composition. Possibly some shadow areas are a bit dark. The shadow & highlight tool in PS would help here. Nevertheless a good shot from an excellent POV.

Hoi Gerrit,
De foto geeft een mooi overzicht van het landschap vanaf een uitstekende positie. Een mooi gezicht op het uitgestrekte regenwoud tot aan de heuvels in de verte. Prima framing door de bomen en struiken aan beide zijden. Het licht maakt het extra prettig.
Groeten,
Lars

hi Gerrit

I am very interested and curious to know about Latin Amercia and the daily life/nature there. Some parts of that continent are very much like Malaysia lying along the Equator.

Your gallery is also very interesting. This shot of bright sunny day with superb landscape of greenery is very attractive. Outdoor photography is so useful with bright light and nature. Keep posting.

TFS, bill

Olá Gerrit, wonderful green view, very well framed by the taller trees on the sides. Great depth and beautiful blue sky. I imagining some nice treks to those peaks...

ricardo

Hallo Gerrit,

Het moet een mooie ervaring zijn dit te kunnen aanschouwen.
Het ziet er zeer mooi uit en u nam een goed beeld met aan beide kanten groen en een fantastische diepte op dit panorama zicht.
Mooi gedaan, bedankt.

Prettig weekend,
John.

Hi Gerrit,
nice view really into the landscape with a good play of light and shadow, well framed and superb clouds in that sky. The colour composition works for its own.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Gerrit,
An amazing view of that lush valley. The POV is quite advantageous, I like those trees on the FG acting like a gate, the way that the clouds seem to mimic the mountains, the game of light and shadow on the valley and those little flowers dotting a bit of red on all that green. The shadows look a bit too dark on my display, chrkont's WS looks better.
Regards, José.

Hi Gerrit,
The lovely green trees reaching into the contrast deep blue sky make a very inviting frame to view the lush green valley and distant mountains of this vibrant tropical island. The colors are remarkably clear with razor sharp details to this lovely island image.

Hi Gerrit,

I like much the harmony of the colors, this splendid blue sky contrasts about it with this luxuriant vegetation. Framing vegetable balances the image well. Pretty and pleasant photograph, thank you for the note Gerrit.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles
