"Don is one of my latest conacts here on the Flickr site. Most of us carry the sign "Pro" behind our name by paying a membership to the Flickr community. Don deserve this "Pro" sign through his photography which is from an excellent quality! Not only by the use of good equipment, but also with his view on the world around us. Don,.... you got an eye for it!"
