Buongiorno Roberto, ho visto e rivisto questo album spettacolare e lo riguardero' ancora. Hai fatto delle foto stupende, hai fatto "conoscere" i personaggi....ed io ho cercato di imitarti, sia pure con felini meno pericolosi e con risultati decisamente piu' modesti. Pero' ci ho provato. Con "A Cat's Tale", pubblicato ieri sera, ho voluto raccontare le storie dei miei gatti, se puoi dargli uno sguardo sarei felice di ricevere un commento, un consiglio, una critica. Complimenti al "Maestro". Buona giornata....Sandro.

Roberto this is a cool album as well. I Have 3 lenses for my 5D the 24-105 F4L IS USM the 100mm f/2.8 Macrao USM thats the one I used on most of those pictures in the featured album. and the 100-400 F4.5-5.6L IS USM. I got the 24-105 when I baught the camera the 100-400 in June, and the 100 just recently I wanted the 180 because of the working distance it allows but didnt have the extra cash. And this one has good reviews and is good with Portaits as well so settled for it. My next lens will be a Ultra Wide angle not sure which one yet tho probably the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra-Wide Zoom if I can save up enough cash.

Hi Roberto, I thought that I had seen this album before but after watching the slideshow I realised that I had not but the faces are familiar! A most wonderful album! You are giving me the urge to visit the Toronto zoo with my new camera which is a more friendly place for wild animals in capture! I still need a good telephoto lens for my new Sony A350 for that type of photography! Thanks for the offer regarding the cool country woods photo to convert to my Photo Art style. I'll use a copy from the enlarged image from Webshot if you don't mind. Check it out at AT later on today. Regards from Paul.

Dear Roberto, what can I say? Thank you for dedicating this album to me. Very well done, you become a master in photographing wildlife in general, but cats and butterflies in particular. You know I love kitties, don't you? :o) I do, I do, and you have quite a few really, really good ones in this album. And I believe that one of the first 2 should be the homepage of your personal website. Also, I want to apologize for the delay of my visit, I hope you will forgive me for that. Thankful hug :o) Maria

Howdy Roberto! Just trotting by for a belated and heartfelt" thank you so very much" for the kind message you left on my featured album "symmetry in black and white" last week. Yes, they say Elephants never forget :D..I did remember the album also,barely,:D, but more than anything I also remember your welcome attempts to convince me to finally purchase a photo editing program. It took me about another year but it surely made a difference, especially for straightening crooked horizons and distortion (24 - 135mm lens). But it is very time consuming, so I take tons of pictures but I hardly ever have time to work on them and post them any more :(....... This album is fantastic and it couldn't have been dedicated to a more talented and nice person! I do think she inspires everyone who comes and views her photos! Have a wonderful day! Marita.

Roberto the magic just keeps on coming. Each shot here is a classic. The big cats always capture our imagination and apppeal to us. This must have been a wonderful experience for you and your camera has been hard at work for you yet again. It is the posture and the eyes that draw us in here... Fabulous slide show. Love the album... hugs Susan

Dear Roberto, Thanks so much for telling me this was here I so enjoyed catching up with old friends and seeing whos new there I really must try and organise a trip back there sometime. Glad you managed to dodge the showers and getting some really excellent shots. I've not spent too much time on Webshots recently as I'm setting up my own website right now which I hope will go live really soon I had a look at yours and there are some excellent pictures there which goes without saying :o) Take care now, Jill
