Testimonials (4)

Bensalem5G says:

"I will start off by saying I don't know Sally. She has been a friend here in the Flickr sense for quite some time but we don't chit-chat, exchange emails or anything. The friend status is just something Sally, out of the goodness of her heart, has extended to me. For whatever reason she has done so, I am most grateful.

I don't come to Sally's pages everyday. I can't. My favorites page would be Sally's stream if I did. Coming here is like having that forbidden dessert after a full meal. I have many friends whose photos fill me with every emotion and idea but Sally has this inate ability to produce perfection in every shot.

Sure she lives in a most beautiufl location. Yes, she is beautiful as is her family. Unfair advantages maybe? Hardly. Having a beautiful location with a beautiful subject would probably satisfy most to just point and shoot (my style, by the way). Not Sally, not even for a moment. She pushes herself to learn new methods and styles, always working hard to make the most of what she has been blessed with. And she is blessed. Blessed with the mind, the eye, and the imagination to create works of art.

So from out of the blue, I write this most sincere testimonial because now I am feeling my blessing. This is my thank you to one of the most talented people I have ever "met". I seem to have located the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."

"I've seen some photos of salkiwi before (explore, groups etc), but recently (the last 24hrs) I took the effort to check out almost her entire photostream. Looking to this wonderfull collection, I really want to leave a testimonial already. You got it all : amazing beachphotos, beautiful nature and animal shots, really excellent portraits, your creations of art (layers etc), ... All I can say is that I am as pleased as Punch and looking forward to your next creations!!
Your photos are “top notch”, keep up the good work!!"

"Sally, I can't and won't believe you only got into photography recently. You might not have the latest and most expensive kit but your skill is amazing. You have got the eyes to capture special moments in life. Your ability to tell a story from your photos is captivating. I have learnt so much from your photos. It has been my greatest honour to have interacted with you from our many photowalkings. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more wonderful work from you."

"Sally is the nicest & kindest person in the world & a wonderful mother.
Her nature is only surpassed by her photography which continues to grow.
My favorite photo is the kid zoooooming down the sand hill."
