  "ecstaticist has one of the most beautiful photostreams on flickr, if not THE most beautiful...
  
  There is some kind of magic in ecstaticist's captures, you can stare at them for hours losing yourself in their beauty. He has an enormous talent, making even the dullest of things look spectacular.
  
  After seeing just a couple of his photos on Vancouver made me want to visit that city so much, his cityscapes are in my humble opinion the best I've seen on Flickr...but don't stop at that, there is a lot more to see from sunsets, to flower close-ups, to sky and landscape shots that will keep you sucked in for hours.
  
  Thank you for sharing such beautiful work with us."

  "Well, what can i say about Evan's work that has not already been said.
  From his water
  drop shots that are second to none in quality and artistic style. To the magnificent photographs of Nature in all her beauty.
  And now he is stepping into the video realm. With outstanding results.
  I am in complete awe of his photographic skills and the creative eye to capture the beauty he sees.
  That and he has a wicked sense of humor. (throw in a u for those outside of this place! lol) Thank you for being a Flickr friend"

  "Evan -
  
  Thank you so much for inspiring me to begin macro photography. I'm trying to learn from your genius, passion, and optical perfection. I believe that everyone here on flickr knows we are in the company, if not shadow, of your vision and expertise. I'm just happy to be along for the ride.
  
  Most Sincerely - Beth"

  "Everybody who spend more time on Evan's photo-stream can see an immense variety of his talent. You can feel his enjoyment of taking pictures through every creation he presents us: wether it's his meditative slowmo-videos, his fascinating super-macros, his enchanting shots of land- and skyskapes or his passion to flood the world by creating seas and ponds or by his thousands of drops of light full of reflections and refractions...
  
  Dear Evan, thank you for being such a wonderful friend here on flickr and sharing the love of light and beauty with us...
  
  Namasté, Lars"

  "Evan a.k.a ecstaticist is by far my *MOST* favorite photographer on flickr! I'm absolutely in love with his sooper meticulously dazzling macros! Anything you’d click your mouse on in his photo-stream, the man has it mastered – hats down! =)
  His ardent love for nature profoundly screams in his shots, the colors that he chooses or the his creative compositions easily distinguish him from the rest..
  I’d never want you to stop clicking Evan, you’re definitely an *ASSET* to flickr and to photographers like us – a magnanimous inspiration!
  Best of luck in your future endeavors!"

  "I was lucky enough to come across ecstatisist's photo stream shortly after joining Flickr, and have been following his work ever since. In particular, his macro work with droplets and refractions is outstanding, and, dare I say, quite unparalleled on Flickr. The eye catching stuff he manages to get out of a few water drops is truly amazing, and very inspiring."

  "One of the best photographers (if not the best) on flickr!
  and the fact that he's not using a nikon or canon shows how amazing of a photographer he is .. it really is about the photographer and not the camera
  
  love all your photos.. i can go on and fav each one of them ^__^"

  "A long overdue testimonial for one of my favourite photographers.
  Evan must be the King of waterdrop photos here on Flickr, his stream is full of them in all their sublime beauty, but there is more to Evan than droplets, all his macro shots are fabulous as are his landscapes and you can feel his love of nature just by looking at his images.
  Thanks Evan for being a wonderfully supportive friend, keep up the good work and keep taking those beautiful photos.
