[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We were in trip with my friend Kency from TrekEarth when he was in Suriname for vacation last year. We went to Brownsberg / Brokopondo with a group from Paramaribo after 2.5 hours of long, difficult trip and we climb down to one of small water fall there named "Leo Val"

She was our guide during the tour.

In workshop version you can see another frame while lady enjoying under waterfall.

Brownsberg Nature Park : Brownsberg Nature Park was established in 1970 and is Suriname’s first and only national park. Since its creation, the Park has become one of the most popular nature recreation areas in Suriname. It is an excellent bird-watching area. It has unique habitats, such as moss forest, as well as endemic plant species. It also harbors a very diverse wildlife. The Foundation for Nature Conservation in Suriname has been successful in promoting the Park as a recreation destination. Equally critical, since it seeks to foster nature conservation in all of Suriname, is that opportunities be created at Brownsberg Nature Park for Surinamers to learn about nature. The Park hosted 17,000 mostly Surinamese visitors in the year 2001, which is equivalent to more than four percent of the total population of Suriname. Currently, it is the most popular nature destination in the country. It consequently offers unique opportunities for effective nature education, exposure to nature research, and the nation-wide promotion of love and respect for nature. On-the-job training of Surinamers in ecological research can be undertaken at the Park, in conjunction with facilitation of research and monitoring by national and international research teams. This will yield skilled personnel and critical information. The Park can become a place where monitoring techniques can be learned, and where studies on the sustainable use of the rainforest can be initiated. By exposing visitors to these techniques, studies and their results, the Park will effectively become a “Rainforest School”. Easy access and good facilities make it an attractive place to observe and learn.

Hi Ertugrul

Fantastic picture. The long way down of the water and the fantastic light and therelaxation of the bath in the damping heat.
Very good job.
Regards, Gerrit

Merhaba, my friend Ertugrul,
Great composition with a good vertical format to catch this fantastic waterfall. Besides, you catch an activity under the water, with the function of shower that your guide is enjoying.
Such a green environment of the tropical vegetation is impressive.
Beautiful light and nice natural colors in the photo, very well made. Great shot in your WS, too.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Merhaba Ertugrul,
Thank you for showing us such a beautiful place, so efectively captured.
Technically and documentally it's great, but I "don't see" much more in it... Sorry...
With this I don't mean you shouldn't post it, well at contrary. TE and photography in genarl aren't only about "great" photos, the rest is also very important and pleasant.
Regards, José

Olá Ertrugul
Maravilha de foto, o efeito da água caindo é um espetáculo.
Bom ponto de vista e cores fantásticas.
Grande abraço e parabéns.

Hi Ertugrul,

A pretty point of view on this water fall acting as natural shower. This place must be marvellous and enable us to be released. The management of the light is good and gives beautiful colors to the composition. Thank you for the note and for the sharing Ertugrul.

With all my friendships,

Jean-Charles

Hello Ertugrul, waterfalls are always fascinating. I love to see all the different techniques to shoot them. Long exposure, extremeley fast shutter, etc. The water will always contribute with great outcome. You got something quite interesting here with the sun shining on the top part of the fall and also at the bottom and leaving the mid-section in the dark. What a wonderful luxious green around and the crowning piece is the guide takinf here shower.
Nice image!
TFS, Peter

Olá Ertugrul, a very enjoyable picture, with an impressive 'jump' of the water fall. I bet it would hurt to stay right under that water ;-) It must have been a great trip and it sure worthed well the effort. Good alternative in ws, as well, especially the water speed effect.
Friendly regards,
Ricardo

Ciao Ertugrul.
Bellissima foto e ottima sirena che si lava nella pura acqua. Se non ci fosse la ragazza non si capirebbe la grandezza della cascata.
Complimenti

Hi Ertugrul

Best wishes
Mark

Hello Ertugrul.
I love the shaft of light shining down the waterfall onto the woman. The slow shutter speed has lent a wonderful sense of movement to the water. This looks like an amazing place to spend a vacation.
Regards,
Chris.

Merhaba Ertuğrul,
Çok güzel bir şelale. Ama o kadar yüksekten düşen su insanın canını yakmazmı acaba?
Herhalde sıcak hava da serinlemek için değer.
Selamlar. Uğur

Hi Ertugrul.

I really like to follow the waterfall and discover your guide in the bottom. We can read this picture and it's pleasant to do.

Good work.

Hi,
wonderful waterfal in nice composition. Yes, without the lady it wouldn't be so perfect.
Have a nice day,
Tomi

Olá Ertugrul!
Interessante imagem, ainda mais com a moça embaixo da queda d´água! Penso que um pouco mais de tempo na exposição, com uma abertura menor no obturador o efeito de movimento da água ficaria ainda melhor!
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hello Ertugrul
Nice nature scene and the figure of a woman, taking a bath... perfectly done!

Beautiful waterfall Ertugrul. I love it. very nice to include the lady there in the photo having a bath. Nice shot. Sothy

Hello Ertugrul,
Nice capture of waterfall and the lady which gives a sense of scale to your photo. I almost prefer the WS because we see the falling water from a closer POV and the woman in movement.
Cheers,
Marilyn

Hi Ertugrul,

Beautiful place and impressive cascade, the vertical format is correct and to include people in the scene helps to imagine a different perspective and its true dimensions. Great shot.

Hi Ertugrul. Good jungle setting enhanced a lot with the waterfall and the lady enjoying a shower at the base. Good clarity and colours. Congratulations. Murray.

Hi Ertugrul,

A good capture of the movement of the water of the waterfall, the lady is giving a sense of size compare to the fall. The photographer use the natural vegetation to frame the waterfall. Thanks for sharing.
