Your alba Wagtail pictures are excellent, but, they would be much more useful if every picture had a date on it when the photograph was taken.

csmallari		12-Mar-2008 11:55
I thoroughly enjoyed looking over your different galleries. You are an amazing photographer. You have a knack of getting the most beautiful shots of birds in their own element which gives the photos character. Excellent photos !!! Thank you for being an inspiration :)

Steve Rutledge		15-Dec-2007 02:10
Daniele- I wonder if I might have permission to show some of your photos to my not-for-profit classes, offered at the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society. All photographs would be attributed and have links to your PBase site. I will be happy to send you more details! (I'm currently working on a presentation about the Corvidae). Thank you!

skhin		08-Dec-2007 13:27
Hi Daniele, I enjoyed every one of your impressive bird galleries. They're just simply awesome. It amazes me that you use a 500mm with a 2x tc and yet not compromise the sharpness. How do you do this? Thanks.

luc hoogenstein		19-Mar-2007 10:54
Nice to have found your site, I've looked at it with great pleasure! It shows that you're much more producive than Birdpix shows ;-) . A small question: your opening page is really nice, do you know where to find info how to create it? (I've just started up my own pbase-account, that's why). cheers, Luc Hoogenstein

Matt Latham		17-Mar-2007 20:49

Filippo Pieralli		15-Nov-2006 18:04
Hi Daniele, compliments for the superb pictures published on the site. It was surprising to me to discover a similar professionality in the field. I'm not joking! It's a shame, you cannot rely on this profession as the main job. Congratulations, Filippo

David Barrett		08-Nov-2006 23:24
There are far too many fabulous images in all your galleries to comment on each one.I would love to take just one photograph as good as any of yours!! Superb Daniele.

Ciao Daniele! The best bird´s gallery, good work!! Complimenti, Kiko Arcas www.pbase.com/kikoarcas

Adam Sedgley		19-Jun-2006 23:19
Daniela, Perusing your gallery is quite a delight: I especially love the Rustic Bunting. I am hoping that we can use this image our website on the birds of Washington State, www.BirdWeb.org. We currently don't have an image for the Rustic Bunting and this is one of the best I have seen ( http://www.pbase.com/image/44606138). You will receive full attribution underneath the image (with link to your website if you wish). The image will be cropped slightly to 225 pixels square, which is something I can do from the image in pbase. All of our images are donated by photographers and we receive 500 to 1,000 visits daily, so it's great exposure. Just tell me "yes", I can take care of the rest. Let me know what you think. Cheers, Adam Sedgley Seattle Audubon www.seattleaudubon.org www.birdnote.org

Edwin Smouter		13-Jun-2006 18:29
By far the most beautifull bird-gallery on Pbase and maybe on the whole internet. Very inspiring and it makes me, a beginner, try harder and harder. Inspiring, I hope that you someday will publish your best pictures in a book. I will instantly buy it and lay it on the table in my room to let people see how beautifull birds are. Thanks for the pictures. Edwin from The Netherlands

Piotr Sobolewski		03-May-2006 18:00
it is probably the most beautiful bird's gallery on PBASE. Thanks for sharing.

ROB		14-Apr-2006 21:23

Beautiful photos! Tony

peter wijn		01-Mar-2006 14:35
Your work is so beautiful, it doesn't make me sad that my present capabilies are nowhere near. Instead it inspires me to try to be a better photographer. Apart from that, it is sometimes so extremely beautiful, I can watch some pictures for minutes (which is quite something on the internet, don't you think?) deep respect, I wish you the joy making the pictures that they give to me looking at them. peter

colin bradshaw		27-Jan-2006 21:25
Dear Daniele, I am amazed at the quality of your photos. With an Caonon 20D and 500 f4 at Sharm this Dec I came nowehere near the quality of these photos. Can we talk about how you managed it? Did you use a hide at the sewage lagoon run-off pool as I couldn't get close enough to raptors here in my car. I also had real trouble getting close to Spotted Sandgrouse [though Crowned were quite easy] Email me, I'd love a technical discussion

Guest		21-Jan-2006 22:01

FalconBirder		30-Dec-2005 17:14
Season's Greetings Daniele, You've captured some absolutely STUNNING images here - thank you very much for sharing them all with us. The shots of the Peregrine in flight and the Marsh Harrier over the reeds are just two CLASSICS amongst so many. The Pallid Swift in flight too - AMAZING! Wishing you a highly productive year in 2006. Best regards from England, UK. Nick Nick P. Williams

Nick Richter		01-Nov-2004 23:13
Hello Daniele. What beautiful flight shots! Your new camera should serve you well. What lens do you use for the flight shots?

gualtiero		09-Oct-2004 06:58
Le immagini sono veramente interessanti e per nulla "deja vu'". Sarebbe bello poter trovare anche qualche nota esplicativa per ciascuna immagine, sia a carattere naturalistico che tecnico. Veramente complimenti!
