Linda- No matter what direction you turn there is nothing but heaven. I can only imagine the feelings that were running though your mind and heart as you behold what must have seemed to be heavens gates. Now that in itself is amazing, but then you showed your talent in being able to capture it all with some amazing photo work. The colors are soothing to the eyes and soul. The view breath taking. Sometimes I see a picture and know that nothing I can say can even began to do it honor. These are those type of pictures.
Phenominal work dear friend.
Have yourself a great day, take care. #8443387

Merna L. Nobile April 09, 2013
Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of March, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile #10647640

Deborah Lewinson April 28, 2013
