  "I never really expected to make a good friend through Flickr but I did. I can't remember at this point exactly how I met Mim. I do remember finding her exceptional images while doing research. Mim graciously allowed the use of one of her images for a presentation given to the Secretary of the Interior. Mim and I have taken several photographic forays and they are always fun. We have similar view on politics and that always makes for good conversation. Mim got her first digital SLR a few months ago. She had doubts about learning how to use a new kind of camera. It was not long before she was taking some of the most beautiful images on Flickr. Mim, you are a wonderful person and I am very lucky to have met you. I can't wait until our next photo trip."

She has the best qualities of a Flickr member - talent, knowledge, enthusiasm and warmth. I am always delighted when she comments on my photos and consider her one of the best photographers on Flickr to learn from in every regard."

  "Mim (mimbrava) was one of my first contacts when i joined the flickr community 17 months ago. Her images are some of the best on flickr. She celebrates nature with her crisp, detailed images. whether it be a flower macro or backyard bird, Mim captured detail that most would miss. She also has an amazing eye for color and produces images with the most brilliant, vivacious hues. Her photographic images are truly works of art. I am fortunate to have her as a contact and flickr friend. If you haven't had the pleasure of viewing her photostream, I urge you to do so. You will be delighted by the beauty you discover."

  "I haven't really known Mim all that long, but it doesn't take that long to realize what a beautiful, loving, caring person she is.
  
  Her photos are simply gorgeous. The detail and clarity are amazing. She is what I would love to become, a photographer whose work is both beautiful and captivating.
  
  Mim not only is a great photographer but if you are lucky enough to become a contact of hers you are in for some of the most encouraging and enthusiastic comments.
  
  Each time she posts a photo I can't wait to go and comment. First I sit in awe of her ability to photograph a flower, a bird, Zoe Bear (her dog), a butterfly or whatever else she wishes to treat us to for that day.
  
  I also look forward to her posts on my art pieces. She is very encouraging, which give me the boost I need to continue on my road.
  
  I have come to consider Mim a close friend, one whose friendship reaches beyond Flickr. I feel as though I have known her a lifetime.
  
  Thank you, Mim, for being exactly who you are and accepting me as I am. :) You are a true friend."

  "Mim's love for Nature shines bright in her stream. Yes, she's very skillfull in Nature photography and she controls each and every aspect of it. Because of that she qualifies to be with the best in "our" community. There's however more to it.
  
  She shoots inside out and that sets her apart. Whilst visiting her stream you feel her love and passion for Nature and that tells me something about herself. Her pictures must be a reflection of her character and to me that makes a photographer really interesting. I'm convinced she captures both the essence of herself and that of her subjects."

  "It was not long after I joined Flickr that I first noticed Mim’s remarkable flower macros. I was very new to photography at that time and largely unaware of the techniques for taking macro pictures, so I was entranced by the exquisite colors and wonderful textural details in Mim’s close-ups. I’d had never seen flowers in such an intimate way before, nor realized their amazing diversity and fine embellishments. I’ve always loved flowers, but Mim’s images gave me a whole new level of enjoyment. I wanted to see more, so Mim became one of my earliest Flickr contacts.
  
  I quickly came to appreciate Mim’s skills all the more when I made my first (very disappointing) attempts at taking macro shots. I still cannot get flower close-ups as fine as hers, even though we use the same camera.
  
  Mim’s love of nature shines through in all her images -- not just flowers, but birds and other animals, and the natural environment. I was amazed at her extensive knowledge of plant and animal species and I quickly took to asking her what I’d shot so I wouldn’t have to post pictures with lame titles like “bird” and “plant.” I’m constantly amazed at the amount of detailed information she posts with her pictures, often with links to other sites, so people can learn more about the natural world in addition to enjoying her images.
  
  Mim has a great sense of humor and a sense of fun. She’s also generous with praise and encouragement for other photographers; she often posts wonderful tributes to other peoples’ pictures on her own photostream and provides links to their images. She’s a very caring and compassionate person, always there with her support and a picture dedication when a Flickr friend is going through difficult times. She often uses her photostream to rally support from other members. She’s a great asset to the Flickr community.
  
  Although it’s a constant challenge for her to find time to devote to photography, she’s always striving to improve her work and to learn more. She is as passionate about the art of photography as she is about the natural world.
  
  Mim has become a very good friend and getting to know her and sharing our mutual love of nature and photography has been one of the greatest rewards of my participation on Flickr."

  "Mim is an extremely special lady who takes the must stunningly beautiful photos. Whenever I visit her photostream my breath is instantly taken away.

  "I originally knew Mim only through the excellence of her photographic work. But as I commented on her photos I grew to learn she has a helpfull and enthusiastic need to see others do well also. She's helped me think of what a person can do is lifted if more is expected of them. I also enjoy sharing a little humor which Mim joins right in with me and others. I'm just glad we can Flickr together Mim."

  "In Mim’s stream you’ll find some of my all-time flickr favorites. Her amazingly colorful images and tremendous attention to detail are just two of the reasons I keep coming back. She is a true photographic artist who has an incredible ability to inspire and teach! Because of my regular visits to her stream I continually find myself working harder to refine my photos, while also seeing more of the beauty and magic in everything I shoot. As a person, there is no one on flickr who is kinder and more committed to supporting other photographers. She is a pillar of the flickr community and is one of the biggest reasons this site is such a wonderful place to visit!"

  "In my opinion Mim is one of the most amazing floral photographers here on Flickr.
  
  She has such a good eye for everything from the composition to the lighting in her photos and she's inspired me, and I'm sure others, to aim higher in our own talents.
  
  I'm honoured to be included as one of her contacts and I look forward to viewing many, many more of her wonderful photos :o)"

  "One of my first favorites when I joined flickr back in August 2005 was your photo of a spiderwort (shades of purple). I only had 12 fav's. My comment then was "Erg mooi = very beautiful in Dutch". At the time, I was at a loss for English words to discribe the beauty of what I witnessed.
  To date, your work has continued to be a valuable source of inspiration for me. You have so much diversity and works of outstanding quallity, it is always a great pleasure to browse your photostream.
  On this note, all that is left to say is a big thank you for sharing your work and I look forward to the many masterpieces yet to come."

  "Mim’s photos are always eye-catching and outstanding. I’m continually enchanted with her exquisite floral images. Mim also captures the most delightful images of her sweet Zoe Bear. Who knew that a dog could have so many expressions?
  
  Mim is an inspiration for me, not only because of her photographic skills – certainly that! - but because of her kind, warm, compassionate nature.
  
  Thank you, Mim, for sharing your extraordinary talent and creativity."

  "Mim needs another testimonial like I need a hole in my head. . .but I had to comment on the single person who has been the most consistent visitor, commenter, and supporter since I arrived at flickr. Not to mention having 1/2 a bazillion photos that have been faved 10 times or more. She takes some of the very best flower photos and butterfly shots not only on flickr, but anywhere I've seen. If you haven't looked closely at her stuff, you are indeed missing out on a treat!!"

  "Mim
  
  I don't know her personally. But I do notice that right from the time I become a pro member of flickr.com, She have been one of my very 1st appreciator.
  
  Her love is on Nature especially Flowers & Macro. What I can said is that her works are of excellent quality if not superb!!
  
  You would discover more about her if you visit her site yourself.
  
  Thanks you from my heart!!"

  "Mim's photos are simply stunning. The color and composition always awesome. She was one of the "big names" that kept popping up in the "Interesting" file when I first got serious about my photostream (along with Pearl Grace and Linny), and she's been an inspiration and great contact ever since. Bravo, Mim!"

  "I really do not know how to put in words what my heart says about Mim.
  She is an inspiration. Through her kindness she has more than inspired me also to be kind and to do my best--in my photos and in my life.
  Mim has made a mark in my life and in my heart in a way that most people will never see, and I thank her for that.
  Thank you, Mim."

  "What Mim can't do with flower and plant photography is really not worth knowing!!
  
  She is a constant inspiration to me and many other flickrites. Her eye for details and colours is flabbergasting."

  Jeff Clow says:

  "I stumbled across Mim's work here at Flickr and was hooked almost immediately to her photostream.....she is that rare talent who can shoot an image that actually makes me gasp when I view it on my screen.
  
  Her ability to compose....to "see" things that others looking at the same scene would miss.....is amazing....as are her shots. Her work with macros is as good as you'll find anywhere...and that includes comparing her very favorably against professionals who shoot for the big nature magazines.
  
  And, on top of that, she is one classy lady who takes an extraordinary amount of time daily to view and comment on other's works here at Flickr.
  
  Mim is a class act all the way and a real asset to the Flickr community. We're VERY fortunate to have her here...."
