What can I say about Jim? I don't know him personnaly but I am sure that Jim is a very patient man. Jim loves to photograph nature and all that entails. Plants, animals and especially birds. Photos by Jim are simply extraordinary. Jim is meticulous and photos must be well made ​​with vibrant colors and precious details. You can feel his love of nature in each an every one of them. I am always amazed by each of his new photos and it's always a great pleasure to discover them. For me, Flickr would not be as interesting if Jim was not there. I hope that my friend Jim and I will present in Flickr for many years to come. Regards and hugs! Dominique

Having known Jim now for several years, I must say he is one of the best nature photographers I have ever met. Not only are his shots breath taking they are also awe inspiring. This reflects Jim's great love of nature and his fiery passion for photography. He never ceases to amaze me with his images posted here and that is due to his perfectionist nature. Jim, you are truly an inspiration to myself and others, and I have cherished all the good times we've had shooting together. Your work gives me a benchmark to which I strive to achieve with my own photos someday. Thank you for taking time to share a little bit of your magic with me...

His talent is beyond words. His photos take your breath away, one after the other. Just when I think he can't impress me any more, he does! I've seen photos from professional nature photographers, and I'm being completely honest when I say that I think Jim is just as good, if not better, than most. Jim is truly an … Read more

His talent is beyond words. His photos take your breath away, one after the other. Just when I think he can't impress me any more, he does! I've seen photos from professional nature photographers, and I'm being completely honest when I say that I think Jim is just as good, if not better, than most. Jim is truly an inspiration to me, and I strive to capture images even half as spectacular as his.

JRIDLEY1 in my opinion is the BEST of all wildlife photographers. In fact, this is the first testimonial that I have ever written. I am fairly new to Flickr, my friend, Tracey, invited me and I have been hooked ever since. While looking through her stream I saw JRIDLEY1 and looked at his stream. I was amazed. Ever… Read more

JRIDLEY1 in my opinion is the BEST of all wildlife photographers. In fact, this is the first testimonial that I have ever written. I am fairly new to Flickr, my friend, Tracey, invited me and I have been hooked ever since. While looking through her stream I saw JRIDLEY1 and looked at his stream. I was amazed. Every time I open up his site I am truly in awe! He not only is an extremely talented photographer, he takes time to comment on others work and he always has such nice things to say. I can only hope that many years down the road that I will be one third the photographer he is.

Jim is a master nature photographer! He is a true inspiration to those who have the opportunity to view and study his work!

Jim is a master nature photographer! He is a true inspiration to those who have the opportunity to view and study his work! He takes great pride in capturing such stunning images that only a truly dedicated photographer and nature lover could produce. The details in his photos are tac sharp - the colors are so vivid - and the images he captures are simply amazing! He shares with the world experiences that some of us may never get to witness - he opens our eyes to the world of nature! Jim is a very compassionate man - not only caring about nature, but also cares about people. He is very faithful and supportive with his friends and contacts on Flickr - he's always there with a kind word! Jim's passion is photography - and he puts a lot of himself into his photos - I have no doubt that Jim is just as wonderful a person as his photos are! He is a true inspiration to me - I admire Jim's photos - every single one of them - I wish I could be the kind of photographer Jim is someday. Perhaps I will be able to meet him one day and shadow him as he is shooting, so I can improve my skills in order to become a better photographer. God bless you Jim and thank you for sharing your magnificent photos! You are a very talented and gifted!

Jim's photos never cease to amaze me...I think that the man is out in the woods with the birds and wildlife 24 by 7 to get these amazing photos! I really think that he is a bird whisperer and has these creatures mezmerised. Not only that, he is a superb contact with a regular visit and group invite. He doesn't just ga… Read more

I really think that he is a bird whisperer and has these creatures mezmerised. Not only that, he is a superb contact with a regular visit and group invite. He doesn't just gather comments and not reciprocate, he knows how to share the love! Thank you Jim for being my friend but also for having a special connection with nature that you are so giving to share with the rest of us!

I am sure I don't need to tell anyone that Jim has a way with nature. The photos he takes are so breathtaking. It amazes me the action he captures in his photos, the color and with all the comments he receives he still has time to comment to others. To me that is a true photographer.

Jim Ridley is an excellent photographer whose passion for capturing the finest in nature is obvious even after taking the slightest look at his photostream. He has been a contact of mine for sometime now, and I didn't realize that I was one of his first contacts. His kind words and daily visits are something a person really looks forward to. Be sure to go through this gentleman's wonderful stream and let him know how wonderful you think his work. Blessing in all you do my friend.

Jim is one of my heroes. His work is utterly fantastic, and his heart is great! It makes you look forward to seeing his comments on any of your images. When you see his work, you’ll understand why it makes me feel a little more worthy…to stick my neck out, comment on others, or post something you were debating posting. He helps you learn. Jim, you call me Kathy, and it’s funny, that while that is something only my parents call me once in a while, and I politely correct everyone else, when you called me that, I didn’t mind. Not because I think of you as a parent, but as a mentor. Perhaps you subconsciously saw the innocent Kathy, my childhood name, in the eye of my work. I am in awe, much of the time, when I’m out taking photographs. Everything is new, and I am new…with each shot. I appreciate you, and I encourage others to check you out!
