    "Look at Melchen's pictures and you'll find yourself wishing the world was hers to direct. Her subject might be an ordinary orange or a dog, but the rich, luminous energy of her work, will make you think again about the value of everyday things. The planet would be safe in the hands of someone who can so carefully compose such golden tributes to life.
    kisses my dear :)"

    "I was about to write a testimonial about you first but you beat me to it. I heard once that the eyes are the window to the soul. Well it's amazing what you see when you look through Melanie's eyes. Not only does she have beautiful eyes, she sees beauty every where. She puts her heart and soul in every photo and it's visible throughout her stream. Melanie is one of my newest friends on flickr and I'm glad we found each other. Her work inspires me."

    "Wowza! To sum things up, this girl has a gift with the camera. She brings things to life with different angles and perspectives that one does not always see. Her processing and capturing skills bring a life of innocence and nostalgia to her photos."
