Airwolfhound says:
"Nir is one of the more talented aviation photographers to be found within Flickr, and if truth be known, anywhere on the internet. His photography and editing skills are second to none and he always brings out the best of whatever he points his camera at.
He is a top bloke too, having spent RIAT 2009 with him. A good sense of humour, genuine, honest and I am priviledged to be able to call him a friend."29th July, 2009

NGPhoto.biz says:
"I have the pleasure to know Nir personally over the last years, and I had some opportunities to take photo-sessions with him, shoulder to shoulder. He always managed to get better shots.
Among the small community of Aviation Photographers in Israel, Nir's in the Top-Three, and for me - he's the master."19th October, 2008

Freelancer_Imaging says:
"I have keep a keen eye on Xnir's imagery over the past couple of years. His work is nothing short of perfection and inspirational. He is an exceptional example of just what one can accomplish in the very difficult world of Military Aviation Photography when one drives themselves. Especially since his subject matter is the most demanding air force in the world, the Hel HaAvir, or Israeli Air Force.
His other works, including Landscape, Nature and Portraiture are equally inspiring and worth study.
Indeed, Nir's level of work is a benchmark against which I measure myself and strive to attain."2nd August, 2008

Savage Land Pictures says:
"I have seen some very impressive photo-streams here on flickr but the one from Nir Ben-Yosef (AKA xnir) is perhaps the most dramatic and extraordinary. He is a master photographer that has been granted the chance to photograph places and things most of us can only dream of. If you want to be inspired by great photography this is a must see photo-stream."

"Nir has the most fantastic ability to transport you through his artistic creations. His captures of aviation are unparalleled by any photographer, capturing sheer beauty and awesome power in the same frame. Your heart races as you admire each of his captures. He carries that talent over to all his photographic endeavors. There is no other photographer on Flickr whose photos I favorite more than those of Nir. We are all so lucky to have him as part of our community!!!"

"xnir is a brilliant photographer. His access within the IAF makes for some astounding photographs. I've gained insight into a land which I never realized had so much beauty because of his keen eye. I check his photostream often for new photos because each one is a marvel in it's own right. I recommend you add xnir as a contact and follow along as his journey of photography continues. You shall not be disappointed. Keep up the great work Nir Ben-Yosef, AKA xnir...."
