  "What to say about conwest_john… other then he is a brilliant photographer who seems to bring his subjects to life? He is an intelligent and provocative person with seemingly endless talent.
  I look forward to seeing his posts not only to marvel at his latest, but usually to learn something I had never thought about. Oh and the occasional quip we tend to exchange too.
  (the instructions to the left tell me not to leave a rude or nasty testimonial, so this is the best I could do!)
  We share not only a love of our wild cousins but also ice hockey. This has brought out a bit of friendly competition with each other.
  
  Most importantly John has made Flickr so much more interesting and fun!
  Thank you for sharing your talents with us!!!!!!!"

  "WOW!!! John is the most dedicated member on FLICKR!
  And you do not just get a short little comment on your photos like most of us do... me included.. :(, but you get thought and inspiration in each one. I do not know of anyone who puts more effort into making people feel important.
  I am not one to write well so testimonials are not my thing, but when you get one like I did from John, you need everyone to understand how much you appreciate him and his time spent on others.
  Not to mention the GORGEOUS photos that he takes. The animals are so well taken that they should be published in a magazine or wildlife books.
  
  I would like to send you John, a huge THANK YOU for your dedication and your friendship. I am sorry I can not take the time you do on here, but just know that you are sooooo appreciated, and I always smile when I see your comments! :)
  
  Thank you!
  Wanda"

  "John's photos are really incredible - I always look out for his next upload! He manages to capture the character of each animal so well, I feel like I know many of them personally... I've no idea how he gets them all to pose so well, he's either got lots of patience or they're very well trained! ;-)
  
  I have had so much fun following the exciting lives and adventures of the wolves, bears, jaguars, cheetahs and other animals on his photo stream over the past months! John's stories are fantastic: funnier and more interesting than any TV series!
  
  John has also been a great friend to me here on Flickr, always taking the time to leave thoughtful - and funny - comments on my photos! Thanks John for all the kind words and for sharing your brilliant photos... from me and Barney!"

  "Not only is John a fantastic photographer but he also is a wonderful Flickr friend. I enjoy each new visual treat he posts. Take a quick look through his photos and what you may notice initially is his beautiful animal photos, and I never tire of seeing those. But look a bit further and you will find much more to delight your eyes - from the stunning landscape images in his "looking for Canada" set to the gorgeous night imagery in his Chinese lantern festival set. Thank you for sharing your part of the world so beautifully and for your funny, kind and dedicated words of encouragement!"

  "John's animal photos are amazing to browse. He captures so many emotions in the animals. I have always been a big fan of the Toronto Zoo because of the natural enclosures that allow for better viewing and photography of the animals. It was the first zoo I visited with such enclosures.
  
  John's ability to capture the animals and present them so beautifully is truly amazing. I am quite honored to have made his acquaintance."

  "Hello! It' s with a big pleasure that I write a testimonial for you...you took fantastic pictures of these extraordinary animals!! I really love them and I appreciate the black jaguars shots soooo much!!!
  You are very talented with this kind of capture ( if we consider that these animals are so difficult to took in picture as I think!)
  When I will be able to take only one shot beautiful as yours, I will be very very happy, lol!
  My compliments, John!
  I hope my English is quite good....

  "Can't believe I didn't write a testimonial before...but anyways;
  
  John always shows how he loves to take photos of animals, & how "in love" he is with them & his photography...& because of that, you get how true & honest every photo is!:] He's a true animal friend for sure!
  
  With a perfect sense of photography, John never fails to impress me!"
