  "No matter what I come across or what catches my eye elsewhere.. you can always know you're my favorite photographer.. there is something that you do with photography that just speaks to me so largely & magnetizes me to your stream but I think I need to be quiet now so I don't drive you crazy.. (& others crazy)..so even if you don't see any comments from me, it doesn't mean I don't see what you post, and absolutely never means I don't love it, because I just love your photography... you are sooo gifted... I wish you knew how much!!... and every time you post, it's a gift, so thank you, always!!
  Take care my friend... don't stay too far away from your camera ok?.. ;_)"

  "Rafaela es una de las más prodigiosas fotógrafas y sensibles espíritus que es posible agradecer a este lugar que nos ha permitido encontrarla.
  El valor de su trabajo va mucho más allá de la exquisita belleza de sus imágenes.
  Es un testimonio de amor.
  De amor apasionado por la naturaleza y su energía vital.
  Ella ha recibido el don especial de percibir y maravillarse ante la esencia de las cosas. Y posee además, el extraordinario talento de transmitirla
  La mayor parte de esto no es fotografía. Va más allá. Es una actitud ante la vida. Y una propuesta para vivirla. Auténtico alimento para el alma.
  Gracias, Rafaela, querida y admirada amiga, por el continuado regalo de tu luz."

  "Saludos María. He estado observando sus trabajos y todos son maravillosos, eres una gran artista y con gran sensibilidad. Observar sus trabajos me dan una sensación de frescura, tranquilidad y una paz interna. Es ver lo grandioso que es mi Dios y como nos los refleja a través de sus trabajos. No me canso de verlos. Y quiero aprender de ellos."

  "The first time I saw one of Rafaela’s pictures, I knew I had discovered a treasure. Her photos instantly transported me to a world most are never blessed to see… After viewing her incredibly beautiful images, I figured out that somehow, nature holds it’s breath when Rafaela comes near….then, with her flawless intuitive touch, she can capture sparkling dewdrops, tiny creatures, precious petals, and all manner of magical moments, suspended in exquisite perfection for all of us to behold. She not only shares the most precious gifts of nature, but each of her images radiates….each is infused with warm, healing light…. sometimes blazing, sometimes quietly glowing, but always radiant… and I’ll let you in on another secret…. the light that is ever-present in each of Rafaela’s shots, isn’t from the sun…. it is from her beaming spirit…. She shines, and nature responds…. We all respond to her luminous photography, as well as her loving heart, her gentle soul, and her beautifully generous kindness. I am truly grateful to be able to enjoy Rafaela’s art, as well as bask in the warmth of her sweet friendship…. xoxoxox"

  "THis woman, Maria Rafaela, is a bringer of light and joy in this world... her photos are pure beauty and simplicity and they tug at the heart strings. She herself knows much about the griefs and sorrows in life as well as the beauty and joy, and it shows in her work and in her loving comments to others. As a flickr friend, she brings smiles to dark days and peace to troubled hearts, and I value her greatly. My only wish is that I could sit in her garden with her photographing the simple beauties together!
  
  Rafaela, thank you for bringing light into the world.
  with appreciation and love,
  Darlisa"

  In every darkness there is a little light.
  Some of us find it others are given it.
  Rafaela is a true giver of the light that gladens the heart. :)"

  "Rafaela; You are WONDERFUL - you are a real dream catcher, a blessed painter, working with a tender brush of light and love, you have an artist's eye and a woman's heart - and you display it all in your master- and delightful photos! For us to enjoy, to inhale and to leave your paradise of intimate wonders being richer and blessed!
  
  Rafaela; Ich danke dem Himmel für den Tag, an dem ich Deine Fotos kennen lernte. Wann immer ich Zeit finde, statte ich Dir einen Besuch ab, Du lieferst mir die Blumensträusse der kleinen Träume, der beinahe unsichtbaren Schätze, Du schenkst mir die lichterfüllten Eindrücke Deiner Welt, Du füllst mein Herz mit Dankbarkeit und Freude ♥ ♥ ☼ ♥ ♫ ♪ ♥ ♫ ♪ ☼
  Du schaffst einen kleinen Himmel in mir! DANKE für all das - möge es lange weiter leben, all das schöne, echte, lichterfüllte und von vielen übersehene - das tägliche Wunder!
  
  Je t'adore - tu DOIS avoir une belle âme, un beau coeur.... :) Bonne continuation! Kiki"

  "LightSpectral represents to me the best of what flickr can be...an opportunity to get to know and interact with and learn from a kind, talented person who I would otherwise never have the opportunity to meet. My life is richer because of her images, her comments, and the perspective she shares. She really needs no words as a testimonial, her own work does that for her, but then I thought she might enjoy seeing it. So why miss an opportunity to give back a little joy?"

  "Ever since I first returned the favour of a comment I noticed how special her vision is. She consistently makes subtle, poetic, images of light and grace. As well as her photos she has made known to me her perspectives on life which I both admire and respect.
  
  Warm greetings to you Maria"

  "Maria's stream is one of those that just leaves me speechless. Such soft serene beauty always perfectly composed. Hers is perhaps my favorite stream on flickr and the perfect place to come for inspiration or a lift of spirit! She really does paint with light."

  "Unofficially the best macro photographer on Flickr, Maria has an unparalleled ability to capture flowers at their very best! Her skills in macro photography truly astound amateurs like myself, and the variety of her shots is quite phenomenal! Trust me, once you've viewed her impressive photostream you'll be totally intoxicated!
  
  One of flickr's true gems, Maria is a truly inspirational photographer and I hope she continues to stimulate my senses with her genuinely emotive captures!
  
  I wish her all the best with her photography in the future, and hope she keeps up the excellent work!!"

  Her Magic eyes capture all the great Nature objects.

  "Desde que empece a ver el trabajo de Maria Rafaela, me quede prendado de su belleza, retrata el mundo floral como nadie, con una gran sensibilidad, y una maestria yo diria que insuperable, además es una fotografa prolifica, cada dia sus flores nos alegran el dia, y su sensibilidad va mucho mas alla, sus palabras en algunos casos, espero que pronto decida avanzar mas en ese tema, nos ayudan a conocer mucho mejor su mundo, me siento muy orgulloso de poder llamar amiga a esta gran mujer!!
  un beso!!"
