    "I'am so glad that I came across Mike's stream. He is an amazing artist. He has great ideas and even better executions. From image to image, Mike captures mood and color in a fantastic way. He always has something interesting and brilliant within his works.
    I go on his stream, and everytime the same pleasure : nice angle, stunning color, great crop, breathless seascape... (all the usual flikr's language). A lot of his capture are masterpiece. Take the time, go on his stream. If you take a look at his photostream you won't be disappointed at all, you'll really enjoy it!
    Keep on with this excellent photos!"

    "Mike is definitely no fool :-).
    He is a master in creating wonderful moody photos at twilight and in capturing the beauty- and colourful nature around him.
    He has developed his own very unique style that shines through in every photo!
    Moreover he is a very good observer and has the gift to interpret a photo in many creative and touching ways. It´s always a pleasure to read his interpretations and to see my own shots in a new way.
    Thank you Mike for sharing your wonderful work and thoughts!"

    "Photofool’s work has always become an inspiration to me. He has eyes for perfection and a lot of imagination that takes a lot of looking “into” before you learn to see the extraordinary in something so ordinary. I used to think that a photograph is something we usually looked at - seldom looked into.

    Thank you for making me sees things in a different perspective."

    "Photofool's work is simply unreal. He seems to have the Midas Touch when it comes to seaside photography. If you take any time at all to wander through his stream, you'll be in for a fantastic visual treat."
