  "The colors are vibrant, the subjects are diverse, the compositions are inspiring. The only thing that all of Algo's photos share in common is that they make you say "wow". No other single word can describe the consistently high quality of the photos he's taken over the years and continues to take."

  "I fully agree; would I have to choose ONE single photographer, it would be Alex... He's balm for my soul, beauty for my eyes and colour for my mind.
  
  Alex, you are one of the kindest, warmest and most genuine people I have met on flickr.
  
  You are sitting very close to God and you see the world with an eyesight coming pretty close to HIS look upon his creation... And you were obviously not far from HIM when HE did have a bit of spare time to work out the Beauty of the World! :)
  
  Long may you delight us with your art! THANK YOU."

  "Gladly I join the throng of admirers. Alex gave me my first BRAVO nearly a year ago. I decided to check this guy's photostream out to see what that meant from him. I was astounded not only by the quality and breadth of photography, but also the sincere desire to get people talking about the whys and the whynots of all our images. Since then I have enjoyed the challenges he has put before us. For this I thank you Alex."

  "Algo is a treasure himself. Not only are his photo works consistently among the best I have ever viewed, but his desire to nurture those of us who have recently stepped into this realm more appreciated than he can possibly imagine. His heart must be as warm and artistic as his talent. Thanks, Alex."

  "What has nature been up to? This seems to be a question constantly on algo's mind. Whether it's sunbeams, raspberries, or harvesting fields, every aspect has a story to tell. And algo is able to capture it beautifully."

  spikeblacklab says:

  ""Eye-delight"...what a wonderful word! (And how rude of the other photographer to criticize your work... jealous, probably.) We are all individuals in this world, with different opinions, tastes, and perspectives. You choose to show us the beauty of this world; there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. (If the other photographer chooses to focus on other goals, that's fine... Each of us photographers is free to do as he/she pleases....)
  
  ...And your photographs are a joy to look at. Your ample technical abilities aside, you choose a variety of subjects, many of them common everyday things, and present them in intriguing and beautiful ways. Your descriptions and background information only add to the enjoyment of your photos. It is clear that you love what you are doing, and love sharing your creations with others.
  
  I look forward to seeing your wonderful photos on Flickr for a long time to come! :)"

  "Alex´s photos are very special for me. Six months ago I knew flickr and I decided learning about photography. I chose about ten photographers whom I wanted to learn. Alex was one of them. I really admired his ability for compossing an image. Every photo seems to be spontaneous, but if you look at it thoroughly you´ll notice every detail is studied.
  
  For since, his photostream is a indispensable daily visit. Thanks for everything I´ve learned from you, my friend!"

  "There's little I can add to what others have expressed so eloquently about Alex's remarkable photographs, so just let me take this opportunity to bow to a master. Alex, your images are inspirational and exceptional and reflect consummate artistry. Few can match your wide range of interests and immense talent in showing us sunbeams, critters, barns, mist, pets, birds, landscapes and oh, that set of hands! We are blessed that you have chosen Flickr as the place to share your work and your vision."

  Today is a good day says:

  "It's hard to follow the words of Felicity and Phillip in their testimonial below - such true words.
  
  I live just a few miles from Alex, the Chilterns around here are nice - but it takes a special eye, special talent and quite some dedication to consistently capture images like he does.
  
  I've had my eyes opened to the beauty of the countryside around here and also learned a lot about the difference between a good photograph and a truly great one.
  
  Thanks Alex"

  PhillipC says:

  "How long is it going to take Alex to accept for himself that he is one of the top half dozen photographers on flickr - and as documenter of his environment probably one of the best in the world? I certainly rarely see anything of his everyday standard in any of the art books on England.
  
  Some other testimonial writer said that Alex must live in heaven. No. The miracle is that he lives in the same world as the rest of us, but he sees things in a way that I will never be able to do, and captures them to a technical level that I can only dream of achieving."

  " Dear Alex, your pictures always grab me, shake me ,and make me look a little harder. They are both a personl story and a universal one. WHO can not want to come to see your beautiful countryside after seeing it through Algo's eyes?! Thank you for the patient work of sharing your love of life - always with humor and humility. We do love you, dear man, for what you do and for who you are."

  "I do not write so many testimonials but here goes number five.
  Alex his photographs never stop to amaze me. He has the EYE, he observes nature, he must love nature. His recordings of the landscapes around him are timeless.
  They say wisdom comes with age, mind you Alex also grows in his creativity.
  His encouragement for others makes him a wise man.
  It’s good to know you Alex.
  Cheers

  "Alex is a photographer of the highest order...his shots are often brilliant and he sees so very well with his camera eye.
  
  But what makes him stand out even more in this crowded Flickr world is his kindness toward others here....he comments tirelessly on other's work and touches people deeply with his words.
  
  We are truly lucky to have him within Flickr...his presence here enhances the site for every one whom he encounters.
  
  What a class act...."
