  "Lynn is a very talented photographer in my view. Her photostream contains many fabulous shots, and I know that the first one she ever posted on Deleteme, survived! If you have ever been on this group you will know what a feat that is. Moreover, Lynn is always happy to help where she can and takes the time to pass on helpful hints and tips when asked. What more can you ask from a Flickr user?
  Additional Note: Unfortunately I don't get on Flickr as much as I would like to these days but when I do, Lynn's photos are always the first I look at. She never fails to give me inspiration (and a desire for a macro lens!!). Don't Flickr through her work, but take time to gaze on each great work,you find it very rewarding."

  "I have enjoyed Lynn's stream for a few years and it's been a wonderful journey. Perhaps it was she who helped me see the macro world in a different perspective? There is WOW visual appeal with her botanical shots, and always a great sense of humor.
  
  My sincere compliments, Lynn! Thank you always for taking me on a beautiful journey through Canada. And thank you for your continued friendship.......

  THANKS ALL FOR THE GOOD PHOTO-TIMES says:

  "If one searches for the meaning of ‘Gumby’ in a dictionary, one easily founds out:
  
  GUMBY: - a comprehension for, - and mostly used on : an authentic researcher for lights, shapes, contrasts, macro’s, prospects, moods, atmospheres,…, in a way one never thinks of what “the other ones like” but in the meaning of ”How do I like to show ‘them’ my reality” and “how can I show the others the world trough my eyes, without being inconsequent, without loosing the spirit of the concept”
  If you don’t succeed to find this lines in an encyclopaedia under the word “Gumby” or “Lynn”… you’ve the wrong reference book.
  
  Brief: she ‘s a Canadian icon in photography"

  "Each day, i learn something watching Lynn's images.
  It is such a fascinating evidence for every photographers, how to capture simple things in the most beautiful way.
  It's not only question of composition, colors or lights, it's much more than this... the ability to show the elements of our world as everyone should see, warm, harmonious and most importantly, accessible.
  I am really glad to have met such person with such artistic sensibility.
  I feel connected."

  "Lynn… We joined flickr about the same time…right from the start she had me laughing! Wonderfully articulate, humble and funny, combine that with her images and she reaches many levels of the mind and heart. Sometimes she will challenge you to see in a new way. An artist in every way, her images are designed and crafted beautifully as are her words (maybe it’s all natural). I always look forward to her comments and am anxious to see what masterpiece she will post next… keep them coming Lynn....
  
  Truly a joy… a must see photostream !!!"

  "«Lynn’s work is a marvellous tribute to Life.
  A virtuoso artist, she has this rare ability to produce masterpieces from nothing and a special talent for nature´s proceeding. The majority of her photos are visually breathtaking; she was blessed with creativity and a keenly eye for original angles; but even her most minimal pieces have a not-so-simple story inside.
  As if this wasn’t enough… what makes Lynn my favourite in the flickr’s photographers gotha is the fact that she can also write as a writer. See her titles, read her comments and enjoy her intelligence, her perspicacy and terrific sense of humour. Above all, I believe Lynn is a rich and generous person.
  Now, take a seat, get comfortable and then run slide show on this extraordinary photo stream. You won’t be disappointed.
  
  Bravo, my friend. Bravo»"

  "I'm not going to yammer on at length, because if you've looked at her photostream, you already know that her stuff rocks. That she has a keenly-honed eye for unique and peculiar angles. Her talent is unmistakable. Her wit is unmatched. Her iron fist will crush you.
  
  Wait. I don't know about that last part. But the rest, yeah. I'm sure."

  "This is the first testimonial I've written on Flickr, so it had to be for someone special. Lynn's portfolio is very high quality, with an obvious preference for quality over quantity, which makes every picture an individual gem. The variety of her compositions is as impressive as the quality, and of course the unerlying compositional and technical ability is excellent. The variety of her work extends as far as the tantalizing glimps of pastel (?) illustrations of equines, which are stunningly beautiful. Lynns's photos are technically excellent, compositionaly creative, and often contain elements of a dry, witty, sometimes wistful, and occasionally sarcastic sense of humor, which is also reflected in her comments.. Her comments are also always generous, often funny, typically incisive, and always pertinent. They also show an intelligent, dry sense of humor, coupled with an obvious understanding of both artistic composition and fundamental photographic skills. Above all Lynne is quietly generous, talented person, and a great Flickr friend to have."

  "I discovered Lynn’s work while experimenting with the DELETE ME group and was pulled into her stream by her entry “Welder”. The stop-action, colors, and mood of the composition intrigued me (along with over 5000 other Flickr viewers). Similar to g2j2c's comment, I was amazed that her first entry survived, as that group that will spare no expense in dispensing your work in the cruelest fashion.
  
  I’m impressed with Lynn on a number of levels. For one, you’ll notice that there aren’t that many photos in her stream however each entry is a quality composition, deliberate and thoughtfully composed. Many of us on Flickr can take/create a good photo; however, few of us can assemble a strong portfolio. That being said, you will be hard pressed to find the mistakes that so many of us make as photography enthusiasts.
  
  Secondly, for those of you who have benefited from her observations/comments on your photos, you’ve noticed them to be funny, sagacious, concise, and will at times, challenge you to introspection in the most tactful and innocent of ways.
  
  Thirdly, in reviewing her contacts and friends on Flickr, she is a person of discriminating tastes, who surrounds herself with very talented people. The only way we get better is to be among those whose work we admire and wish to emulate on some level. I am and you are fortunate to have her as a friend. I look forward to watching her work evolve and updating these comments!"

  "I am so lucky to be the first one to write a testimonial for Lynn. I came recently across her photostream and I was delighted by the colors, the compositions and, last but not least, about the fine sense of humor (I had a good laugh reading her profile + the photo with the title: Dear Flickr, no make-up, sleep, or proper food since I met you. Thanks. Sincerely, Lynn :-) LOL!
  Lynn, I am so glad that I have you as a friend here on Flickr :-)"
