What guided this image
Landmarks
Caribbean Sea; Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception; Derek Walcott Square; Vigie; Morne Fortune
Viewpoint
Favor a slightly elevated viewpoint from the slopes of Morne Fortune, looking north across the town and the harbor toward the Vigie peninsula and the sea.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the steep tropical hills, the trees, and the overall visual impression.
Guarded against
Avoid making Castries look like a generic Caribbean resort, a Mediterranean port, or a Latin American colonial city, and avoid Alpine character.
