  "Raychel is by far the best recreational photographer I've EVER met. But her photography skills multiplied by 1 billion isn't even a hairline comparison of how good a friend she is. Seriously, I've known her for a little more than a year now and even though we've for the most part talked via IM/phone, she's demonstrated a love for God and his creation that's so great!
  
  So here's to you, Raychel. I swear as long as I live I'll never forget what an amazing friend you are."

  "Raychel's photos are breathtaking, amazing, spectacular, brilliant, gorgeous, colorful, fun, smooth, lovely, a breath of fresh air, and inspiring!
  
  Her talent is displayed every time she posts posts another photo. She does an amazing job at a wide selection of photography, from landscapes, to macros, and flora to portraits. Her photos are fun, and in no way boring, It's always a delight to look at the new photos she has posted!
  
  And if you want a summary of all of what I said, here it is, "Notorious Raychel is one cool gal, that knows how to take a good photo"!"

  "Every one of her photos is amazing in it's own way. There's always something standing out due to it's greatness. She has her own true style and can really pull it away.
  She is inspirational, rough, colourful, bright, soft, tender, shocking and overall magnificent."

  "Her photos are inspiring and delightful as well. Her timeless beauty is reminiscent of Victorian fashion that transcends through the novel and her technique is fabulous.
  
  Fresh, Bold and Amazing. She will go far..."

  "What do you say about someone with a ton of testimonials that hasn't already been said? Raychel is a stud when it comes to taking self portraits. She's unique in her choice of angles, and her ability to let the camera stare her down long enough to catch a glimpse of a person I have never met. I can't say that I know her, but from the story she tells, I feel like I should know her.
  
  Outside of self portraits, she shows us the beauty of the simple things in life. Fruits, toys, fences, cheeks. Things you walk by, or glance at each day, but never recognize.
  
  If I could say one thing about Raychel, it'd be that she has caught my attention. I don't know how, but she's got it, and I'll keep seeing things through her viewfinder as long as she allows.

  "I can tell you this about Raychel. From your pictures, you know she has a lot of skill with the camera. But if you dig a bit, you'll also find evidence of her fantastic singing ability. She's a force to be reckoned with!"

  "Raychel has a gift for portraiture (especially self portraiture) that leaves me both envious and amazed. Specifically, her use of color and focal depth stand out as particularly astute, and produce gorgeous, gorgeous images. I find myself waiting for good weather to go stomping around scrap yards and old buildings looking for photos, but then I fire up Flickr and see that Raychel has created a whole series of fantastic shots without leaving her kitchen ... and for that inspiration I'm most in awe."

  "Raychel is a fine photographer who produces imaginative images on many differing themes. I particularly enjoy her Self Portraits which show a skillful use of lighting, angle and composition coupled with a beautiful face and figure which captures the viewer. I look forward to each image Raychel posts. Mike"

  "It's been a joy to follow Raychel's photostream and see how much she has progressed as a creative photograper. Above all, it's her genuine, heart-warming smile and spontaneity with a bit of silliness that intrigue and inspire fellow photographers like myself."

  "Some say that the eyes are the windows to your soul. If that is the case Raychel has been so kind as to invite us all in for a look around. Aside from a nice collection of eye close-ups, she has also amassed and interesting series of self-portraits, and candids of her and her pals. She also has included some very nice experimental work where she has played around with color, perspectives, and composition. But above all her work contains huge helpings of humor. When you look at her work, you cannot help but smile."

  "What can I write about Raychel that doesn't appear in everyone's else's testimonial?
  
  Individuality -- Individuality -- Individuality
  Add Raych to your contact list and every time you click "Home" you will see under "Photos from your contacts' a smiley face, the corner of an eye, a set of lips making a smile that could make the hardest person smile.
  
  Raychel is an inspiration and leader on flickr, she shows us all we should feel comfortable with what we were born with.
  Raychel was born with beauty and talent and for those of us lucky enough to stumble upon her pool we are richer for this experience."

  "I do totally enjoy slipping through Raychel's stream -- from witty photos to outstanding self-portraits and experiments of depth of field, I love getting lost here.
  
  And I'm still trying to figure out what makes her Notorius. Great stuff!"
