Each one of these photos is a masterpiece and to put this on slideshow, sit back and just enjoy the visual feast. I can well imagine how many times you took your camera down to the beach to capture these, for there are many moods captured here. Again, I loved the visit and just had to leave a message of appreciation. Have a lovely day, dear Maria. You blessed my very early morning. Hugs, Marjie

  • Hello, Maria, I wish to thank you for your comments on my work. I noticed your magnificent photos already some time ago. I think they are one of the best in webshots. You asked me whether I`m a professional photographer. What are the criteria by which we judge whether one is a professional photographer or not? :) Anyway, I have not attended any photo-school (it was all a big self-education project) and I have never earned any money with this. This is simply the best way I can spend my free time - travelling across my homeland and bringing back some quality result. I would be great if it was my occupation, but here in Latvia nobody could earn any living by being a nature photographer. Thanks again, Maria, and greetings to you from Latvia. Martin.

  • Hola Enemaria!! me he quedado impresionado una vez, y he vuelto para poder recrearme en tan maravillosas imagenes, parece que en mi ordenador he abierto una ventana donde siento la brisa y el aroma de tan bellas fotos, gracias. Siento si no sabes spanish, pero es la mejor manera de poder expresar lo que pasa por mi mente que se luce con lindas palabras en su idioma madre, un idioma con sinonimos y adjetivos propios para algo tan maravilloso. Gracias por tan buenos momento, tu camara es genial, pero tambien es importante donde se pone y el trabajo, mas que el resultado. Besos de Spain!! (Tenerife)

  • Hi, Maria, Although your 'Vissions' are beautiful they leave me with a sense of loneliness as I sit here at home in Wales. Perhaps it's the 'end of the day' mood I see in them, a closing down and an end of things. Yet there is a quiet beauty there that one cannot but admire. Thank you for showing me these - I'll bookmark you and view your other works from time to time. Nils.

You have captured the essense of the unique beauty of the central California Coast better than any other photographer I have seen. I am inspired by your photos and can't help but wonder how you do it. What equipment works so well for you? What is this technique that you have mastered so well? It looks like you use graduated filters, but I am just guessing. It's not just the technical aspect...the compositions are world class. I feel that one could learn much from you. I am truely inspired. Craig from Washington State

And I've started using in different situations (like inside the Canterbury Cathedral). There is a downside: they take so much longer to prepare! ;o) Ciao! Roberto

  • It is one thing to appreciate a piece of art, quite another to be completely moved by these creations. Unlike flipping through snapshots, a casual perusal is not possible, for each viewing of these masterworks forces an inventory of one’s entire emotional gamut, and is as much an introspection of self as it is an examination of your intricate capabilities. Every frame compels a lengthy study, for the message is layered in the shadows and the light, not immediately given to translation, but discovered over countless immersions into your genius. It is as though you have bled yourself for this achievement, and any less commitment in contemplating their meaning would be sacrilege. Can you discern enthrallment?

My sister and I talk about your photos, in detail, over the phone, but you wouldn`t know that! I`m not an artist nor a photographer(they go hand in hand) but can certainly appreciate it. You make WS a better place to be for the members. Okay, on that note, I`ll bid you a good evening, Maria Joan, Long Island, NY

  • Maria, thank you so much for your message in my guest book. When capturing both the sky and sea like you have, you have created magic. I think that it is wonderful that in WebShots, we can view each other's work and begin to know the creative person who has given birth to such beauty. You have succeeded in doing that and I'm really glad that I could see your vision. But then again, your images are really special. You paint with light in ways that are rare and unique. Hugs to you too. I think you, Tereza and I will have to meet at some point! Have a great week. Tibby

Deasemenea, reiese talentul tau pentru frumos, prin alegerea momentului si locului pentru a reda o impresie cat mai deosebita a imaginilor. Greu poti sa-ti alegi favorite, totusi sunt cateva care mi-au lasat o impresie aparte.

  • Thanks for all your words Maria :o) Said by a talented photographer like you, I'm doubly honored! That was mostly luck: I went to Somerset Place to take candids of people ice-skating, got kicked out by a big security guy because my camera looked "too professional" ( :o) for the comment, :o( for the consequence) and went back all fuming, when, crossing the bridge, I saw the sky, it was perfect and decided I HAD to play with the new baby :o) Ciao! Roberto

  • A fantastic album full of artistic, painterly shots. What a great idea to use them as inspiration for your paintings. I'd love to see some of those in the future. Vicky

  • Divine inspiration!! These are some of the most beautiful shots I've ever seen! You truly are an artist. Although I've enjoyed Webshots for a few years, I'm new to photo sharing with members. Your album left me breathless! Best wishes, Denise (Naples, FL)

  • Dear Enemaria: If you have to put a comment to this album that you would say?.You would surely be left without words guessed right to define it. This is what happens to me. But I should say that it is of the most extraordinary albums that I have seen in Webshots relative to the sea and the sky. My most sincere congratulation, my friend. Best regards. Jesús

    said  of GeorgeHutchison GeorgeHutchison 2007.01.18 at 02:28:11 PST

  • Maria, I just discovered that you commented upon my images (24 days ago). Finding communication between myself and other Webshots photogs to be unwieldy (and sometimes daunting), I guess writing a comment on your page is the only way I can find to tell you that YOUR images are second to none that I've ever seen on Webshots. Fabulous subject matter (Living in CA doesn't hurt, does it?), excellent composition, and Photoshop work that I'd like lessons on! I can't wait to get back to working my way through all your albums. (And I'm inspired to get back out into my beautiful corner of California.) Keep up the great work. Bill

    said  of bbouton43 bbouton43 2007.01.17 at 12:05:07 PST

  • Hey, Maria! Thanks for your comments. Actually in the "Dreams" album, only the pictures with water in them are digitized! PhotoShop allows you to copy the top of the picture, paste it below and rotate it to look like a reflection. It's great because you can take a hum-drum photo and make it magical. The sunrays photo is not touched up at all. We are SO lucky to have this view in our backyard. I've only got 1,897,978 more backyard sunray photos..haha. Tibby

    said  of tibart1 tibart1 2007.01.16 at 07:51:32 PST

  • Maria, thank you so much for your kind and helpful comments on my albums. I really do need to change my old shots from such low resolution to high resolution. PhotoShop is great - my favorite software, but then again, it's only one I know really well. Some of the "Dreams" album were using PhotoShop to create reflections that were not in the original pictures. I have many of your images downloaded now and am enjoying them daily. Tibby

  • The trip west was done when there wasn't a lot of clutter in the sky, hence the brilliant blues, but I did use a polarizer, because sometimes light at altitude contains a lot of glare and color distortion (the priciple reason I typically use this filter). It would have been a great thrill to have your company while traveling through this terrain, especially since you'd been down the same road before. I DID shoot a lot of frames, but I try to be sensible about what I load to W/S, not wanting to overstate my point. You may have read a comment I sometimes make, "One doesn't have to consume the entire cake to know it's sweetness..." or some variation of that. I'm glad you liked this album, and I so appreciate your praise. Merry Christmas to you and yours! Fred

    said  of rodemicheli rodemicheli 2006.12.12 at 12:59:04 PST

  • As they state here: http://www.webshots.com/support/help/photoguideline.html , they want you to use a camera with at least 11 MP resolution. The 5D is 12.7 and still you have to resize the pics up a bit (so, basically, no cropping is possible) :o)

    said  of rodemicheli rodemicheli 2006.12.11 at 11:42:39 PST

  • Maria, re your question: yes, they've been taken with the 5D. The 5D is the first camera I have that meets the resolution requirements that WS has to publish pro shots :o) Ciao! Roberto

Your work has always brought me to this place and that is one of the reasons that I have "Bookmarked" you as one of my "Favorites" awhile back! Maria these four works of art are simply beautiful! Fred has taken most of the words out of my mouth and I sure hope he'll give them back! Young Lady you have been SO graced by The Good Lord with talent, skill with the lens and a very special and true sensitivity to His creations!! That can be "felt" through viewing your artistry!! I want to thank you personally for so freely sharing these "gifts" with us and request that you waste no more time than is necessary to develop this album further! May Our Heavenly Father, in all His Glory, continue to bless, guide and protect you and yours Maria!!!!!!!!!! Terry in Sherwood, Oregon.
