She has great understanding of lighting and artistic composition. The photos she produces are beautiful. But she also does her work with a song and enthusiasm. I look at her photos often and can't wait for the next.
My god, it's all been said below already, lol. She is an amazing photographer with a even more amazing mental grasp of equipment, techniques and knowledge. It will be many eons before I can catch up with her expertise. And god I hope so as well, lol. She is someone for us all to aspire to be. Not literally of cour… Read more

Biologically impossible for myself, lol, ;)

The first time I came across Lia's images I was amazed. Everyone, without fail, captured the wonders of her surroundings. A good photographers goal is to put the viewer in our shoes. To let them feel like they are actually looking at the environment we see through our lenses. Lia has that gift. Her love of nature shows through with every click of the shutter. I'm glad to have found her stream and even happier I've gotten to know her. She is a pure joy and an amazingly talented person. Dave

Among the very best that Flickr has to offer. Having once visited Bocavermelha’s photostream I, like many others, have found myself making increasingly frequent return visits. The beauty of many of Lia’s images border on the hypnotic, and the clarity of her eye for the ‘right-shot-in-the-perfect-moment’ is an inspiration. The descriptions that accompany her photos often move you even deeper into the heart of the action – the tension in the gaze of a stalking lion, the flash of action as a bird dives. Long may Bocavermelha continue to capture the light of the Dark Continent!
Read lessA great Lady, multitalented photographer, a great friend !
In a world where too often people forget that we are one with all of life on this planet and that if we do not let the balnce remain we will pay dearly Lia is a bright light. Her fotos, thru there perceptiveness and humor, remind us of the beauty and necessity of our relatives across the spectrum of living creatures.
There’s so many words to describe her work here, but none match her passion or her mission to honor and preserve the beauty of wildlife in Africa. As I go through her photos of her time in Africa, I find myself always with the same feeling; I need to be there too. Until then, I am grateful to her, for sharing her exp… Read more
There’s so many words to describe her work here, but none match her passion or her mission to honor and preserve the beauty of wildlife in Africa. As I go through her photos of her time in Africa, I find myself always with the same feeling; I need to be there too. Until then, I am grateful to her, for sharing her experiences. She’s truly talented and blessed with a beautiful spirit. Take the time to go through her photostream and you too, will soon discover her contagious spirit.
Read lessA couple of things on Bocavermelha... you can have an enormous knowledge about photography.. but it is not enough, you can have the newest and most advanced camera and lens.. but still it is not enough.. to be a breathtaking photographer you must have the eye and the heart...and she has definitely both
Apart from the most incredible, inspirational and beautiful pictures, Lia also has a great talent to evoke strong emotions with the descriptions she writes with her pictures. If you have not had a chance to see many of her pictures, stop reading this and get involved!! Definitley one of my favourite flickrites!!
Bocavermelha's photostream and her cause of animal protection is an absolute inspiration. Each wildlife photo not only provides the viewer with a sense of astonishment, but also with the realization that life, along with its ecosystem is priceless.
She and her works are ultra-charming, and ultra-lovely.
Bocavermelha's photographs of African wildlife are gorgeous but more than that the character of the animals she photographs and her love for wildness shines through in the stories that go with the photographs.
