  "Dana is one of the best selfportraiter in Flickr. She mastered with imagination artistic selfportraiture in surreal and fantasist way, creating always a theatrical atmosphere that keep you waiting for her inspiring ideas. I like her vivid colors as well as her nicely tune of B&W. She can as well sing with talent and answer back with a great sense of witt and humor to your comment. She is a very talented person who seem to be very happy in life ... Thanks Dana for this "joie de vivre"..."

  "In my opinion, Dana is the most creative and uniquely talented portrait artist in all the world.
  
  She's also exceptionally intelligent, witty and over-the-top beautiful.
  
  If I were younger, and she lived closer and wasn't married and didn't snore, I'd propose marriage to her in a New York minute."

  "Dana’s art work here on Flickr is priceless. She continues to astonish us all with images that come from the heart, soul, and her endless imagination.
  
  To give full disclosure on her art and what it means to me...I would like to tell you that I always look for her images first, second, or third when I see my contact pane. It's has more to do with her talent than anything else--and yes the cream rises to the top :)) (I have about 4 to 5 standout photographic artists from Flickr I always search for first).
  
  There’s good reason for her being on the top of my searches—her images have a natural and unimpeded style that I truly treasure. We see images from her that just sparkle and have a transcendent magical quality to them. There’s a lot of work to digest in her portfolio, but these images she produces come out polished and very professionally done.
  
  Furthermore, she is very diverse, versatile and multi-faceted in her portfolio. It appears that we see something new and unique in her new postings. I like that. That keeps things interesting for the audience and it also gives full credibility that this is a very serious and highly creative thinking artist.
  
  One of the great talents that Dana has is that she has a wonderful and very deep vocabulary of shots. What she does with the camera is incredibly sophisticated and her direction of knowing where to put the camera at all times can never quite appear to be second guessed.
  
  You never see a camera place in a arbitrary position. She will shoot low, high, dutch, close up, MCU, long shots, etc.
  
  I love the feeling that you are being manipulated by an artist. That is, the artist is taking you on an adventure of his or her own inner creative and deep imaginations. To further that note, Dana will tell stories in her photos. They have something to say more often times than not and we really get to have a chance to have our imagination’s run wild. She let's us ponder over something and think.
  
  Another attribute she gives us is her incredible use of colour and texture. There are some great artists here on Flickr who have mastered this crucial skill and I can honestly say with a great degree of sincereity that Dana is right up there with the best of them when producing images that have wonderful exotic texures and colours that not only blend well, but more importantly have a meaning in the image.
  
  I love when a photographer uses all her tools in her box and implements them according to plan. It appears that she does that because I don't see really any point and shoot style with her art.
  
  I truly believe that you are going to witness and experience something very special as you look at her art. I sure have."

Her portfolio shows it all where she explores herself into her own made world. She is beautiful and put so much creativity in her work. I just wish I could have 10% of her creativity!!! She's one of my favourite flickr friend, always leaving feedback /comments. An adorable fun lady to have as contact. Daneli is my fave!"

  "Well I'm not sure what to say here apart from WOW, WOW, WOW. I can't believe I haven't written a testimonial before now.
  
  Dana's work is incredible, she's annoyingly creative, beautiful and very very taleneted and I'm jealous :-). Every time I see one of her pictures I think "damn how does she do that"! She's a very supportive flickr friend who often visists your stream leaving supportive and constructive feedback/comments and I'm gald I came across her stream. If you don't add her as a contact now then your mad. This woman is fantastic with a camera and photoshop.
  
  I don't think I like you any more Dana hee hee!!!!!! (ooh ok I love ya really!)"
