Maria, I knew you had been too quite for too long. I have only looked at the thumbnails at this point, but it is plain to see that you have once again created a marvelous album. I will be back tomorrow when I can take the time to fully appreciate each photo to its fullest. Carol

I looked at each....like in a gallery..forming an ever changing and better picture, each One the same and different at the same time. Drawing me in to the shot.... pleasing the Soul as well as the Eye. One as One......Richard

Maria, you've done it again! It will be really hard to pick a favourite from this collection, but the sepia-tones of "Coastal Guardians" reminds me of Ansel Adams - a hero of mine from the time I was MUCH younger! Thanks again for sharing with us all! AND a Happy Orthodox Easter (a few days late)!

Un album remarcabil prin combinatia calda a culorilor si finetea detaliilor. Am vazut toate fotografiile, dar timpul nu mi-a permis sa le fac o analiza amanuntita, asa cum se cuvine, acestor minunate poze incluse in superbul album „One on 1”. Ma voi intoarce, peste ceva timp, pentru a-mi lasa impresiile la „piesele de rezistenta” ale albumului, desi toate au o particularitate unica care intregesc excelent albumul. Apreciez devotamentul si munca depusa pentru a te autodepasi si a ne incanta noua privirile cu pretioase fotografii. Succes si realizari la fel de placute si pe viitor.

Hello Maria - I love your photography & the way you present it - it has always been a delight to walk through your albums & this is no exception - I especially love the spring flowers at the front of many of your beautiful shoreline images, & the wonderful clarity & detail of your rock formations really set my imagination alight - many thanks for a truly lovely experience - hugs Connie

Maria, that's a wonderful album as you usually share with us! I'm sure it will be of a great success and I hope to see it featured in the homepage of WS soon, or at least one of the pictures as a POTD. Too sad that WS is not mature enough to feature vertical pictures in the homepage, maybe it will change some time? That's a wonderful dedication to Roberto, I'm sure that he appreciates that. It already brought him good luck with a POTD... let's hope it will bring much success to his new web site. When will you have a personal web site? as a Pro you deserve one!
