    "Scott is a fantastic photographer. With an amazing talent to charm animals into posing just perfect for him. His photos are always crisp, clear and composed wonderfully! He also has a wonderful sense of humor and makes me laugh every time I visit his stream. Aside from being one of the best photographers on flickr, he takes the time to visit my photo stream often. Thank you Scott, for being a friend in flickr and filling my eye's with such beauty each week. :)"

    "I have been meaning to write a testimonial for Scott Schaub for a while ~ I am such a fan of his work! How will I be able to express how extraordinary his nature captures are? His photos are always striking, beautiful and expressive. I know how hard it can be to photograph animals in the wild but he makes it look easy – as he captures them so often and so brilliantly! His timing is impeccable; his post processing is just perfect, and to top it all, he always seems to find the best titles! I always look forward to his next upload ~ I know I’ll be awed. He never disappoints.

    Two quotes by Minor White come to mind when I think of Scott’s photography:

    "Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen."

    and

    “When you approach something to photograph it, first be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence. Then don't leave until you have captured its essence.”

    ~ I believe the animals he photographs have chosen him and will “pose” for him because at some level they know Scott can capture their essence and will portray them with respect and beauty.

    I’m also a fan of Scott as a person. He is a very kind, considerate and supportive contact. Scott is a very classy and down-to-earth guy. It’s a privilege to be his friend on Flickr."

    "This flicker friend is like One Great brother.....
    He is Kind, Supportive, always there.....
    The Talent this man has is Beyond any other
    photographer of nature & water...in it's Finest Moments....

    He is a Natural...A Very Gifted Person.....
    I call him the "Bird Man", because his Images
    of Birds are just Simply Outstanding~~~
    I do really think he must live there among the
    marshes, where the birds hang out......In a pop up
    tent or just camps out in his vehicle....... Lol
    He does whatever it takes to get the BesT Capture
    possible....... Climbing trees, going into the pea green
    colored water knee deep, maybe grabbing onto a vine and
    swinging over to his next Great Glorious Bird in their Natural
    Habitat to share with all of Us.......

    He has the most Funniest of Titles that just make me laugh....
    And, brings such a Delightful Smile across my face~~~ :-)
    So, my Dear Friend Scott.....
    Thank you for being who you are and for what you do!
    I have had the Great Pleasure of knowing you as a contact
    and a Friend~~~
    Your work is always Stunning.....Keep Shooting Away~~~
    Blessings to YoU Always~~~"

    "SCOTT IS ONE OF THE BETTER WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHERS ON FLICKR!!!!
    HE DOES WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THE BEST POSSIBLE SHOTS AND SPENDS ALOT OF TIME OUT IN THE SWAMP TO GET THOSE GREAT HERON PHOTOS.
    SCOTT HAS COMMENTED ON ALOT OF MY PHOTOS AND INVITED ME INTO NUMEROUS GROUPS.
    ALTHOUGH I WILL NEVER MEET SCOTT , I AM SURE HE WOULD BE FUN TO HANG OUT WITH AND GO PHOTOGRAPHING ANYTHING WE WOULD COME ACROSS.
    KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
    I AM HONORED TO CONSIDER YOU A FRIEND , EVEN THOUGH ITS ONLY A FLICKR FRIEND.
    I AM GLAD YOU ENJOY MY PHOTOSTREAM AND I CERTAINLY ENJOY YOURS!!!!!"

    "Scott is awesome.. he has been so friendly and supportive of my work. He is always there to tell me how I can improve too. Scott is so dedicated to his photography. He is creative and isnt afraid to get down and dirty for a shot. We share a love of birds (especially herons but not parrots...lol). Scott is also willing to go outside the lines and shoot people, places, and things that are outside his norm. I look forward to his work and his sincere comments daily. I appreciate Scott both as a photographer and as a great friend :)"

    "Scott is an amazing wildlife photographer... I can't believe the images he gets of birds and anything else he can find to shoot... He must have nerves of steel, or patience of steel... I can't stand to wait that long for "just the right shot"... He is also a wonderful contact and is so encouraging. I can't thank him enough for his encouragement and inspiration..... Always looking forward to your next posting..."
