I am enjoying every moment of taking photo,s and post production, I like to take the view that photography has no guidelines so experimenting is key to my enjoyment and that photography should be just that...........!
I would just like to say many thanks to all who visit and comment on my stream, it really is very much appreciated and for those who make me a contact, a big thankyou to you too, but if I don't reciprocate please don't be offended, my wife and I run our own business and although I try hard, sometimes there is not enough time in the day to keep up! rgds Michael.

Guy Wulf says:

"I have a number of Flickr heroes but Michael is up there at the top. Nine times out of ten he posts a photograph that renders me speechless....I make the usual platitudes in the comment box but none ever seem to match up to the impact his imagery has on me....his skill as a photographer shows through in every shot and his post-processing skills are second to none....he leaves me standing in every respect....on top of all that he`s a tree lover.. It`s good to have Michael as a Flickr friend...keep up the good work."

"One of my Flickr favorites, I'm a big fan of Michael's stream :) His work brings together a great talent with the camera along with a creative eye, skillful processing, and a clever and witty sense of humor. I am always delighted by his brilliant countryside scenes, his views of London, Grandma's loft, and everything else he turns his camera to. So much fun and feeling in this stream! Thanks for sharing your world with us :)"

"One of my great flickr favorites because of his incredible talent in HDR the way he composes a certain scenario making it truly remarkable work of art...."

"Mike's photography is an inspiration to me, I do not process HDR (yet) but I do appreciate his work and dedication to his art. I recognise many of the places he captures and I believe this has made me look at everything in a different way than I did before. It is not often an older sibling follows his the youngers example, but I now have a great hobby that allows me to explore my world all over again. Thank you for opening my eyes and mind Mike.
Testimonial from 'Older Brother Doug'."

"Stocks/Michael is an outstanding photographer.
I am a big fan, and particularly love his HDR work, which is always an inspiration and technically brilliant. With quality assured in every shot, coupled with an eclectic range of subjects, his photostream is not to be missed and is guaranteed not to disappoint."

Andy McGowan says:

"Michael was one of my first contacts when I came onto Flickr. I have always enjoyed his take on life through his stream. Being reasonably local I have had an interest in his shots because I can recognise the locations and aspire to taking similar images."

"Michael
All of your pictures are WOW great, and you sure love the HDR but with the combination of hand and camera the results are staining keep up the good work my friend and let’s see more from you art.
Good luck
Tayseer"

"Michael's work is never disappointing, his HDR is is expertly handled, I am not a big fan of HDR usually, but he has mastered it so well there is nothing to sugest falseness, indeed it is dealt with so well it must be discribed as "stunning work"."
