Richard's creations are pure, clean and very appealing. His images whether simple or fascinating, are the result of very careful craftsmanship. His light is perfect and his composition rival's his light. Although I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him yet, I know somehow that he is a noble soul, as it transpires th… Read more

Richard's creations are pure, clean and very appealing. His images whether simple or fascinating, are the result of very careful craftsmanship. His light is perfect and his composition rival's his light. Although I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him yet, I know somehow that he is a noble soul, as it transpires through his images. I look up to his vision of the world and his ability to master the art of seeing. Thank you Richard, for sharing both your work and your friendship. Maritimelight

He is one of the best landscape photographers around! Ok, i have to admit that all the other things he shots are great, too! But especially his Michigan landscapes and farming houses are great works, taking me to another "world". Most of his pictures let me forget time while watching and exploring his view of the scene… Read more

He is one of the best landscape photographers around! Ok, i have to admit that all the other things he shots are great, too! But especially his Michigan landscapes and farming houses are great works, taking me to another "world". Most of his pictures let me forget time while watching and exploring his view of the scenery. Keep on the good work!

Not only one of the nicest guys on flickr but also one of the most talented! Seeing Michigan through Richard's eyes makes me want to visit her majestic beauty myself. His love and passion for photography are imparted deftly through each image; each one produced with a fine touch. It's truly a pleasure visiting your pho… Read more

It's truly a pleasure visiting your photostream and I always look forward to the next shot! Cheers:D

There are many talented photographers on Flickr who do wonderful work. However, Richard is in a class by himself.

There are many talented photographers on Flickr who do wonderful work. However, Richard is in a class by himself. He has a unique talent for composing shots that depict ever last shred of beauty in scene: from the colors in the sky, to the architectural details of a lighthouse, to the polished stones at the water line, Richard captures them all in a single image. I've learned a lot by studying his work and am happy to call him a Flickr friend.

When I first came across Richard he was in the middle of his series of Oakland County Lakes photographs. I thought of him as "lake guy", in fact THE "lake guy". Since then he has worked with snow, trees, swords and tape measures. It's all good. This guy has it all - imagination, patience, vision, daring, diligenc… Read more

When I first came across Richard he was in the middle of his series of Oakland County Lakes photographs. I thought of him as "lake guy", in fact THE "lake guy". Since then he has worked with snow, trees, swords and tape measures. It's all good. This guy has it all - imagination, patience, vision, daring, diligence and modesty. His images please the eye, warm the heart and fire the imagination. Not only is he a fine artist but he is also a nice guy who takes the time to comment on the work of others. Thank you, Richard, for your inspiration and encouragement.

There are too many great landscape photographer you can find in flickr. Nevertheless, Richard Thompson photo can easily tell you from many others. His landscape series are delicate blends of colours and light. None of them is the repetition landscape subject. His unique composition, great sense lights and colour is a pure joy to view and to learn. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and your wonderful masterpiece with us.

I don't remember how I first saw Richard's shots - but I'm sure glad I did! Many people find his photos inspirational. However, when I look at them, it makes me give up taking photos - that's how great his photos are. The only issue/dilema that I have is: how to resist the urge to make all of his photos a favorite! … Read more

I don't remember how I first saw Richard's shots - but I'm sure glad I did! Many people find his photos inspirational. However, when I look at them, it makes me give up taking photos - that's how great his photos are. The only issue/dilema that I have is: how to resist the urge to make all of his photos a favorite! If I were a gallery owner, I'd run, not walk, and beg Richard to be his exclusive dealer. In my opinion, his work is much better than many other "pros" out there. Richard, thank you for having such a great eye and for bringing your photos to Flickr so all of us can enjoy them!

It is with the greatest respect and admiration for Richard's work that I write this brief testimonial: His photostream is truly delightful, beautiful, sublime and quite often inexpressible. It is impossible to not be drawn deeply into his land-seascape images - as if you were there yourself - experiencing the momen… Read more

It is with the greatest respect and admiration for Richard's work that I write this brief testimonial: His photostream is truly delightful, beautiful, sublime and quite often inexpressible. It is impossible to not be drawn deeply into his land-seascape images - as if you were there yourself - experiencing the moment of joy and serenity with him! Take your time and enjoy the many views and vistas presented by this very talented artist and photographer. Thanks very much, Richard, for your inspiration and friendship!

As a beginner, I often browse flickr shots to learn or to get some shoot ideas. I see wonderful shots and I'm a fan of great photographers such as LeighTaylor, johannes asgeir, jwlphotography, V. Mason and thinkingpicture. But Richard's pictures just invite me without voice. I like the color, the lights, and the sharp sensation of his pictures. Every element of a picture seems to be wanted by him like an art director, and he is kind enough to reply, share ideas and techniques. So, congratulation for your great work and thank you for your kindness.

Every so often you will stumble upon something unexpected... a twenty folded up in a shirt pocket... A smile from a beautiful passerby... An Everyday experience. When I view Richards' work I see so much of how I visualize the world. Serene. Peaceful. Beauty in repetition as it occurs everyday. Captured so perfect. … Read more

Every so often you will stumble upon something unexpected... a twenty folded up in a shirt pocket... A smile from a beautiful passerby... An Everyday experience. When I view Richards' work I see so much of how I visualize the world. Serene. Peaceful. Beauty in repetition as it occurs everyday. Captured so perfect. Rich is awake with an idea and an execution before we have hit snooze. He captures scenery that allows us the grace and blessings to feel as if we were there with him. I smile every time his work comes across my flickr page. I know the work will be exceptionally planned, executed and of course enjoyed.
