Theo, Thanks for answering my questions about mirrored telephotos. You have a great African wildlife portrait. I've had the good fortune to visit E and S Africa a few times but it was all in my predigital days. Maybe you have given me the inspiration I need to get back there! GJ

Thanks for coment my "Panda"shot.Your wildlife is amazing.Congrats.Nice portfolio.Daniella Fairbanks

Simply a just amazing gallery here. I'm humbled Al

Hi Teo / Mr Ouzo Some wonderful pictures here, im pleased to have been part of your experience in Tanzania :-) Kind regards Achmed www.basecamptanzania.com

Hi Theodore,

Thanks for looking at my photos.

You have a very interesting collection too.

I must say, many of you photos are good enough to steal - its amazing where they can appear, and then as you know its had to undo legally. Hence I write all over mine.

You have visited some exotic places and have some great shots for it.

Some of the areas I'm close to as I live in Kenya at the moment.

I'd love to see some Greek cityscapes too? :-) By the way, there is a well publicized lady photographer, who was a lawyer about 5 years ago - and with your eye for detail, plus some understanding of the commercial aspects, who knows. Should you be traveling to Kenya, be sure to let me know.

Peter

Hi Theodore, thanks for looking at my photo.

I think your portfolio is full of amazing pics !

Regards Ruggero

Thanks for the nice suggestion on my wolf picture. I'll try cropping her more to the right of center and see how it looks. She was actually looking over at a goose swimming upriver but it was too far away to get in the same frame. Your African photos are AMAZING. That's a dream trip for my wife and I someday but it's a bit farther for us than it is for you. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Best Regards!

Your wildlife photos are superb. Its tough to say which is the best, but if I had to choose, it would be a tie between the tiger and zebra photos.

Well done and hope to see more of your uploads soon.

Best regards - Dylan.

What beautiful wildlife images you have in your gallery. Just beautiful !

I enjoyed a lot your beautiful pictures. As you are, I am also a big fan of the wildlife. Hope to see more uploads of what was a great and very productive trip to Africa. Congratulations!

Theodore, Your wildlife shots are great. I enjoyed lloking through the shots seeing the animals in their natural settings. Keep on shooting and posting.

John

You have an awesome portfolio of images. So sharp and clear with great depth of field. Very consistent as well. My favorite is the tight crop of the Zebra head. Your collection of African wildlife makes me think of home. I hope I too can one day take wildlife images as good as yours. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Cheers AJ

Dear Theodore,thanks 4 your comment.youre right.its not a good picture!I just wanted to picture that very moment,Thats all Regards Neda

Fabulous portfolio!

thank you for comment on my photo. Your portofolio is delicious. Greetings from Italy.

A very good portfolio you have here, not so many from Greece though, do you find much wildlife locally? Just curious really, I visit Greece often but my photography tends to be mostly limited to insects, reptiles etc.

Thanks for your comment on my adder shot btw! All the best,

Matt

Hi Teo, very nice photos. I especially liked the one with the Panthera Leo peeking through the grass.

Greetings from Greece

I went through your portfolio with so much envy ! How incredible must it be to photograph these animals, sigh...You have some wonderful images in there, regards, Nicole.

Hi Teo,

I notice you are adding more nice wildlife shots.

Peter

Thank you for commenting on my Harrier photo. I am extremely jealous of your portfolio. You have some of the most fantastic wildlife photos I have seen yet. Congrats.

Best regards, Kevin.

thank you for comment my photo, you have a great portfolio with all the images that I would like to take. Because of my work and family I travel a little bit. Congratulations.

Hallo Theodore from Greece, thank you for commenting on my Bengal Cub.Just want to mention this and that is I am totally besotted with Bengal Tigers and if I could I would have about 10 of these "Kittens" roaming around my home.I also decided as usual to browse your portfolio as well and was quite taken with all your stunning wildlife photos. Great work and thank you for sharing. Kalo Christoujina ke Kali Proti Gronja 2008....Greetings from Johanna in SouthAfrica

Thank you for your comments on my images. You have a very nice collection of African and Indian wildlife. I do hope to come by later and see some pictures from your next trip.

Yours,

Michael

I enjoyed viewing your portfolio and the amazing photo captures of the animals. You photos bring Africa right into my home which is the second best thing since I cannot go to Africa. Excellent! Thanks Theodore for you kind comment on my alligator shot. You are correct in making the photo shot even better by closing in on the face but I was in the car and did not dare to venture outside!

Your portfolio is very nice. Keep on the good work.

Paul R.

No FAIR..and YOU ARE SO lucky be to be able to travel to get those awesome shots!!!!!the nearest i get to wildlife are the deer that feed in the yard of a place i housesit .... i have many photos of them just none really good..i usually have to catch them through the glass doors......i have some great ones of the fawns again just not great quality...oh well at least someone gets to catch the awesome photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for stopping by to check out my meerkats!!!....if you didnt go look there are some pretty good shots..if i say so myself of polar bears and one of my granbabies in my portfolio.... ;-)

>^..^< have fun

Thank you Theodore for your comments on "The Guardian". I appreciate your comments. Your enthusiasm (and portfolio) for wildlife is very compelling. I wish I had such a broad spectrum of subjects such as you. Warm Regards

FANTASTIC PORTFOLIO! GREAT, GREAT JOB! 8/8

Teo, Thanks for your positive comment on my portfolio. I wish I could capture what you have in your portfolio. AMAZING!!!!! to say the least. I have to go to the Bronx Zoo for that. I can't wait until spring to go.

Thanks Again,

Gail

Thanks for commenting on my photo. I'm just a beginner. Your work is fantastic! I especially love the lions and the birds. Great use of natural light.

You have some great wildlife photos. Thanks for rating and commenting on my photo of the tiger. You were right about the pink nose indicating it is a young tiger. It was born at the zoo in December of 2006. However, even though it has "extended face fur" like you say indicates a male...it's a female. It's a sumatran tiger, so maybe that makes a difference. She was bottle fed and hand raised by the keepers and veterinarians at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA. because the mother tiger wouldn't care for it after birth.

Teo your wildlife photos are as good as any I have seen. I know how much time and patience goes in to capturing wildlife, I can only wish to capture the animals as well as you one day. Thanks for your advise on the 400/5.6 lens in the forum. Cheers.

Hola Theodore, me ha halagado mucho tu comentario sobre mi foto,y tiene mas valor cuando he visto tu fantastica galeria dedicada a la fauna, eres un maestro en este tema, te felicito muy sinceramente y te envio un cordial saludo. Joaquin.

Thanks for commenting on my secretary bird shot. Your work seem to be something to use as a reference manual in wildlife photography. Really impressive.

Einar

Theodore, very beautiful wildlife gallery. Taking these shots should have been very exciting (and dangerous)! P.

Thank you, Theodore, for your kind words and insight on my photo. You obviously know what you are talking about as you have many beautiful wildlife shots here. I look forward to seeing more of them. Peace!

You have a wonderful portfolio. Thanks for your comments, they were really helpful.

Theodore. Thank you for the nice compliment and helpful hint's. Wow! I enjoyed your work. Your photography is stunning. I really enjoy these photos of yours, someday I would like to see animals like this in natural setting, just beautiful! High Regards. Felix

Thanks for the compliment on my burrowing owls and bird photographs. Your wildlife photography is really fantastic. I look forward to seeing some new work from you soon.

Eric

Thank you for your visit and this lead me to your great work in wildlife. Enjoy a lot and will come back from time to time. Viewing your porfolio remind me of the big time in Tanzania.

Hey, Teo, Aug Masa Mara river crossing. Wish I could go with u too!!!

Such a variety of wildlife! All of you shots are perfectly captured, especially the zebra shots. Don't stop shooting these amazing animals (only with a camera though, please).

And thank you for the comment on my own photo.

thank you for the comment on my photo. you have great photo and comment from a pro like you are well taken. I will be back to see more.

Thank you for your comment on my photo of the geese. I have just looked at your profile and you have some very nice photos of wildlife. Congratulations on your photos.

Theodore, You have such a great collection, It really shows the talent you posses as a photographer. Keep shooting ! And thanks for stoping by and commented on my pic.

Best Regards!!

Alberto

Hi Theodore, Wonderful pictures. You have got some amazing pics of the big cats - and not just Africa - you've managed India too! Regards, Arvindh

Hi Theodore. I feel like I've been on an African Safari - excellent work. One general comment, if I may, would be to get some good extreme close-up shots of some the animals, esp the carnivores. Thier eyes have power and hold your attention. Thanks for coming by and commenting on the Black Mamba picture. It was a controlled setting, but the snake was very, very active. Best regards.

Theodore, thank you so much for your comments regarding my tigers. It is very much appreciated. And, this has brought me to your portfolio which I think is AWESOME. You are a fortunate man to be able to travel and shoot wildlife photos. BTW, I made a trip to Athens in 1967 and enjoyed it very much. Was not shooting photos back then though.

Theodore,

Thanks for your comment. Love your portfolio, we have the same love for wildlife and travel. I've seen the migration a few times and also some crossings of the Mara river. And indeed I also think that is one of the wonders of the world. Good luck with your next travels and looking forward to see the results. Regards.

Theodore,

Thanks for your recent comment to one of my images. I can appreciate it better now that I see all the amazing wildlife photos you have. Great captures on the the zebras and other action images... /Marc

Hey theo , what are you doing ? ...holding out on us ...? come on lets see some cool shots of some lions ....tigers monkeys something to look at ....hehehehehheh have a great day ...:-)

Hello Theodore!

I was looking arround n i saw a comment on other photographer that u have a wonderful wildlife portofolio, so i had to check, n i discovered that he was very right, your portofolio is impressive!!

All the best!

Hello Theo, Thanks for your advice on my lion photo. I hope to soon get another opportunity to try out the tips you've given me. I think that your portfolio is just amazing and appreciate you taking the time to teach others your expertise. I'm looking forward to re-visiting your site to view more beautiful images. Thanks, Stephanie Stagg

Love your wildlife gallery.... You'll love Alaskan bears and other wildlife when you come here!

Hi Theo

Thank you for the comment and very good advice about my puffin photo - that's exactly why I joined this site for advice like that! I love your portfolio and hope I can come close some day!

Regards Helen

Hi Theodore, Thank you very much for all your comments and ratings on my photos. Very appreciated. Your portfolio of wildlife photography is quite astounding. Moreover, what I do like most of your captures, they are not just "pretty pictures" which you can find a dozen a dime, you emphasize character, trait and mood in your photos, thus portray personality which makes them stand out. All the best - Sigmar (from California)

Hello Teo and thank you for a nice welcome to PN. Your portfolio looks amazing and I really enjoy looking at it, specially since I am a biologist :)

Keep on with a great work and greetings from Croatia. :) Sanja.

Hello! I love your portfolio with all the wildlife. Thank you for critiquing my photograph, it is good to hear pointers from someone who shoots the wild so often and so well!

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my deer shot. It gave me a chance to check out your awesome portfolio. REALLY beautiful work. I will definitely continue checking for additions. Thanks, Al

Theo, what a great portfolio. You have a fine collection of animal shots. I especially love the ones with the big cats, but that is a personal preference. cheers, Hans

Thanks again Theodore. I see you've added great batch of Lion shots since last I visited. As always, your work is superb. Can't wait to see where you go next.

Theodore thank you for telling me what my settings should have been for my tiger shot. I was really happy with the shot till had it blown up and seen that it wasn't as clear as I thought. That was my first time shooting at the zoo with anything other than a point and shot so maybe next time I'll have better luck. I really like looking at your animal shots taken in the wild wow they are cool. I hope to someday be able to go to Africa and take pictures like that.

you have great pictures.i especially like the ones with the lions and tigers.thank you for your kind comment.you are absolutely right.i wanted to show that wild animals are more beautiful in their habitat,then imprisoned in a cage no matter the size of it. best regards, gabriela

Thanks so much for commenting on my image "Oh Deer..." I agree on the sharpness, I had just lowered my shutter speed as the late afternoon was creating low light and then - out of no where she ran across so I reacted with what I had already set on my camera. I wish we were allowed "do-overs", but you know with wildlife sometimes one shot is all you get.

I have to say, your work is BEAUTIFUL! The wildlife shots are breathtaking and your travels have given you some wonderful images. I will come back soon for another visit as I love wildlife and the moments that unfold as you try and capture no only the animal but the spirit of the creature.

deb

thanx for the visit. great pitcures you got here !!!

Theodore, This is my 2nd time visit on your folio and I am feeling glad to say this time i enjoy more then my last visit. your wild life pictures make my mouth open :) Really wonderful work, Keep shooting friend, may god with you always

Hello Teo, I have enjoyed browsing through your portfolio and it's a pleasure to see all of these beautiful animals in their own environment. Keep bringing them to your portfolio for all of us to enjoy.

Thank you very much for the comments on my Bambi photo. Certainly is nice to hear such things coming from someone who takes such amazing wildlife photographs. Looking forward to seeing even more from you.

Teo, You have some beautiful and awesome shots of wildlife. I am honored to have had you comment and rate my shot "Gray Danger." Thank you for the encouragement. I have a similar shot in my portfolio in green, but I think the gray seems more ominous. I hope you will look at other shots I post and comment as well. Good luck on your next safari, -- Charles

Dear Theodore,

I just realized that I hadn't acknowledged a comment you had posted a long time ago.I usually respond in due time.I do today and what a cool surprise to see your portofolio. My son is so much about lions that he sees himself as one.he's got a full window on some. Nice shots.

Simply fantastic!! I love wildlife.. and you can represent it very well!! one of the best wildlife photos I've seen! My compliments!! Hii!! -Gil-

Thank you for your comment on "Bottoms Up." You have an excellent portfolio, I enjoyed looking. It's nice to see something that started as a hobby turned into much more, it gives me hope! Will be back to look for new stuff.

I am very fond of your pictures about wild life. I am impressed how simple they are. I like your honest style.

Wow, Theo....your portfolio is what dreams are made of. Exceptional work! Thanks for the inspiration. Regards, Lawrence.

Thanks for your kind comments on my photo...You have an awesome collection of images. Totally amazing and wonderful...Thanks again..Anthony

Theodore

Thanks for dropping by my portfolio, your BBC wildlife photographer series and other images show nice animal action and behaviour, which are not easy to capture.

Dear Theodore Mattas, This is my second time to visit your portfolio, and I enjoyed more than last time. You are superb friend, keep this hard work up and keep posting! Regards, Ankur Thatai

... for your kind comment, Theo. Your portfolio is truly professional in quality and scope. As you can imagine, there are an awful lot of amateurs with seriously professional cameras and lenses here in Japan. But many do little more than gather in groups in parks to harass lone kingfishers. Such a waste!

Hi again Teo. Was just looking at your portfolio to see who's commenting my photos, and i like what i see. Very nice. I love wildlife photography and you're photos are a good example of that. Good luck, Gabi

Theodore, Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my recent submission on PN. I am honored that you even noticed it. Your portfolio is amazing, I am in ah of your work. A truly gifted and talented photographer. Every shot is stunning. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us. I will be checking in from time to time. Regards, Patsy

Stunning portfolio! Congrats! - laura

Theodore, Impressive collection of wildlife photographs. Keep them coming! Hem

Theodore, thx for your nice comments on my images. Looking at your portfolio you must have had many exiting wildlife moments - great behaviour and action shots. Cheers, Mark.

What a rich collection of wildlife shots! Very well seen and well captured. I'll return often when I'm in need of inspiration. Best Regards, Jerry

Without a doubt the best portfolio of wildlife shots here on PN.I unfortunately live in a country where we are responsible for the biggest land bases slaughter of animals on the planet.Mahatma,s words of wisdom do not apply here.Wonderful collection, you should be proud of it.

Congratulations on an excellent portfolio of wildlife images Theodore. Beautiful work, and I bet they were fun and exciting to take as well. Aloha!

Thanks so much for your comments on "Red deer" It gave me the opportunity to discover your wonderful portfolio. It makes me want to go to Africa right away. All the best Henrik

Theo, your kind comments on my polar bear shot are even more meaningful when coming from such an excellent nature photographer as you. A fine portfolio...love the baby elephants! ;-D

I would like to Thank you for your visit and critiques you have given me over the year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. All the best in 2010.

Teo... Thank you for taking me where I will most likely never get to go. You capture your animals in their natural environment and present them as seen without manipulation. Truly wonderful images and I look forward to more of the same in the next year.

A Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you and your family.... Mike

Happy Holidays

I wish you and yours a happy holiday season and the best New Year! Can you believe it 2010 is almost here! I look forward to your newest postings and hope you always find the magic light! Thank you for all your support, kind words and gentle critiques.
