  "Stephen has a very spiritual and gifted eye - he takes us on an incredible journey with every photo he takes, and with each photo, with each viewing experience, we become like Alice in Wonderland, as he leads us to places in nature that we seldom take the time to pause, reflect upon and see. Each image is a celebration of creation, of life and taken with love. Truly a rare gem."

  the tomahawk kid says:

  "if there is such a thing as 'flower power' left in the world, stephen has the lions share...his pictures show a dedication to capturing the natural things around him, a passion for getting up close and getting that detail that so many of us rarely see or for that matter even look for...if you're ever in the blue mountains near sydney and you see a guy with his head inside a flower, or out at night taking pictures of plants by torchlight, don't worry, it's just stephen going that extra mile to get the latest and best plant shots on flickr..."

  "Fantasy lands and intimate reality. Both of these merge in alfarman's photography. Shadow-lands and heightened color. It is always a treat to view."

  Vanita says:

  "Every day (every day!) I find one or more of alfarman’s photographs to save as a favorite. That says something about the quality of his eye. He seems to step into the garden, and unseen worlds call out to him. I sometimes think of him as Treebeard with a camera - I hope he does not mind. He balances shadow and light in a way completely unique to him. His flowers seem to swim up from the depths of the ocean to reveal their individual beauty. Dream-like but clear, alfarman’s images astound and inspire me, and I can’t wait to see what will show up next."
