A very rich and varied portfolio that showcases so many intricate, albeit simple looking compositions. I merely skimmed through your works, but, trust me, I will return. Emmanuel.

Well balanced portfolio
Aloha, Manuel. I really like you portfolio, it is well balanced. I like a photographer who does not get stuck on one or two themes. You seem to have an eye for photography, I especially like your architecture photographs. I am going too do some architecture photos myself soon. You have given me some ideas and for that I thank you. "I will be back"

thanks for the comment on frosted reed, i like the backgrounds on you flower shots, i shoot wildflowers agood bit and have trouble with distracting backgrounds, your backgrounds seem to add to rather than take away from the photo.

I'm sorry to see some of your pictures disappear, but what remains represents a solid piece of beautiful architectural abstractions. A true testament to your skill.

Hello Manuel, many thanks for your constructive feedback on my image of little Axel. I have uploaded a new version of it, with the distracting background removed. However, I may have been a bit too severe in my treatment of it. Would be interested in your views. Kind regards, Margo.

I saw your b&w film (scanned) picture in the no words forum. Just wanted to say I really like it. I love the look of 3200 speed film! Very nice image!

What an interesting and impressive portfolio. Nice, for a change, to see some groupings by specific equipment.
I have to admit I like the bird shots the best, but for a huge portfolio, amazing consistency. It looks like you love to experiment, and usually succeed at it as well.
