Dunns River Falls Photo

Photographer’s Note

This shot is a follow-up to my previous posting here.

For a fee, visitors are able to participate in a human chain led by a guide 600 feet up from the beach to the top of the falls, stumbling over rocks and flowing water. Not everyone makes it to the top, however, as there are exits along the way, and lots of people "bail out" of the experience. :) At peak times, primarily when cruise ships are in port at Ocho Rios, this place is crowded with tourists.

There is a related shot in the workshop.

Hello Gayle!
Thats an interesting spot, looking a bit scary to walk up those probably slippery rocks.
I like your vertical composition, and a well lit central part of picture is leading the eye up the waterfall. The trees are a fine frame.

Allô Gayle!
Très jolie ces cascades et ce doit être plaisant d'y grimper et de se baigner dans le bassin d'eau. Ça me rappelle "Ochos Cascades" en "République Dominicaine, dont j'ai déjà publié une photo. J'aime beaucoup ces cascades avec les gens et bien encadrées par la végétation. Bonne composition et superbes couleurs.
Cordiales salutations,
Emilius

Hello Gayle,
a very cooling picture. A very natural and genuine shot. The activity is real and self explanatory. You captured the water well with ripples and frozen the one on the rocks. Excellent light balance and good point of view. Exciting subjects- human and nature. A very educational shot.

Regards,
Foozi
