[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the heart of the John Crow mountains in the east part of the Island, Nanny Falls is only to be reached after a serious trek through the jungle and a dazzling descent along rocks since the last hurricane destroyed the 'easy' entrance. I had to pass on my camera on the way back before I could climb up again.
Nanny Flls is called after the chieftainess that ruled the maroons in the 18th century and who became a national hero.
Our guide was Andy, a guy with one leg twice as short as the other who had found a wonderful and smooth way to move through the jungle in a real fast way.
In the workshop you see a view on the fall at the other side and one of my friends swimming under it.

Hello Gerrit
A place that must be appreciated by the Rastamen there! The view is indeed beautiful and the vertical framing gives a good depth to the scenery. Water adds dynamism and movement in the FG. Nice light and colors.

Dag Gerrit,

Uw compositie en kleuren zijn zeer goed, het stromend water van de rivier in de voorgrond met de ontblote rotsen geeft mooi kleur aan de foto.
Prachtige omgeving met het vele green samen met het mooie licht op het dak van de bomen, mooi werk.
Bedankt!

Prettige dag,
John.

Dag Gerrit,

The place is very interesting with harsh greens and rust colored waterfall. Very good POV while adding next mountains and cloudy sky but most pleasurable part must be to stand it top. Congratulations

Best Regards,

Hi Gerrit - dense and lush: you've caught the tropical beauty of this place. A good, simple composition, well-executed.

Hello Gerrit,
away from the sunny beaches and huge hotels here we have a bit of the paradise with this hidden fall surrounded by the vibrant vegetation of Jamaica.
The hard contrasts of light between the upper and lower part of the photos were not easy to handle but you did it quite well here.
Cheers.
Paulo
