"I love CY's style of photography. It's so very her, I think it's a real sign of confident photography to be recogniseable from a thumbnail. I particularly enjoy her portraiture shots of her beautiful girls as well as he simple but striking still lifes. Love her photostream and her sense of humour.

Bond Girly says:
"I love CY's photos. She has developed such a distinctive and wonderful style of her own. Quite often from the thumbnail I can tell it's one of her shots. She has a brilliant knack of seeing beauty in simple everyday things.
Her two daughters feature regular and their characters and her love for them really shines through in her shots.
CY is an absolute inspiration to me."22nd October, 2011

"I was pretty chuffed to receive CY as my tribute challenge for this month. I love her pictures, I always look out for them and I am never disappointed, especially the gorgeous shots of her little one!
She has a fantastic eye for a shot, and her landscapes and beach shots are second to none!
On top of being fabulous at photography, she is a lovely, lovely person, and contributes so much to our little HPAD group."2nd August, 2009

"I was delighted to be given Carmen's Year as my tributee this time around and i had a great time meandering through her photographs looking for one to tribute. It was a hard job deciding, there were so many fab ones to choose from. They always seem to be different, even if just of ordinary subjects - original, creative and well composed."

"Carmens Year always takes some amazing pictures and seems able to be a good all rounder taking pics of childrean and landscapes yet still getting it right every time.
I enjoy looking through her stream as I can come away with ideas and processing I would like to try.
I think she has the ability to go places with her pictures."28th March, 2009

"Carmen's Year has a great eye for composition - her landscapes always draw the eye (and the seascapes make me a bit homesick!) Her photostream is always interesting viewing and she's a really helpful, friendly member of our HPAD community."

Judith Angharad says:
"Carmen's Year has said a handful of times that she thinks my style and hers are similar and I'm incredibly flattered by the comparison! Her shots are beautiful, stylish, quirky and charming in equal measure. She's a very talented lady and I feel very lucky to 'know' her through flickr."

Allison Wonderland says:
"I always enjoy seeing CY's uploads - we live in the same part of the country and she always finds ways to showcase our beautiful landscapes in new and interesting ways. Added to that, her portrait shots are beautiful (doesn't hurt that her daughter is as sweet as syrup!) and now she has a nifty fifty there's no stopping her - keep up the good work!"

"Carmen's Year is such an active and helpful HPADer. Her editing skills are fab-she has such creative ideas with it-and she's provided inspiration for me on many occasions!
And her shots are awesome too. I'm so jealous of the beautiful part of the country she lives in and she captures it so well. The wave on the pier was an outstanding shot!
I always look forward to seeing your shots CY :)"1st March, 2009

Liz du Canada says:
"Carmen's Year has a keen eye for composition and her shots of her child and her landscape shots really shine. She has a knack for seeing a particular way light is shining, or the weather is turning and can really capture this in her pictures."

"I am lucky to have met and been inspired by the lovely Carmen's Year. Her photos are beautiful - but then she has the advantage of having a very photogenic daughter and living near a beautfiul part of the North East coast!"

Ly (Lyanne Wylde Photography) says:
"Apart from the fact that CY is Geordie I really love her work. She perfectly captures landscapes and especially beach shots. Juxtaposed to her serene landscapes she also takes some edgy urban shots. Her shots of her daughter are fabulous combing arty and traditional. CY rocks."

"Carmen's photos are always an inspiration to me, I love how she views life around her, and still manages to be an active member of HPAD despite looking after her beautiful little girl & working.
More importantly, she's great fun, and travelled 300 for lunch!"22nd December, 2008

Donkey. says:
"I love CY's pictures, I always look out for them and am never disappointed! We have daughters the same age and I'm always in awe of the lovely shots she captures of her daughter (including those walking away from camera ones!), as well as the fun and interesting things she comes up with each day. CY is a fab contributor to the group in a very funny and also generous way, top bird all in all!"
