It was a wonderful #surprise to receive a note from the photographer of my book cover for the #Rivers- released in January 2015.

@ Arseniy Krasnevsky from Croatia was delighted to see his photograph on the book cover. He was truly delighted to see his work adorn a book cover. So much #talent and so #humble.

When I asked him for a website to share on my FB page, he said...

I have only the link on my portfolio http://www.shutterstock.com/g/krasnevsky I think you can use it if you wish. Anyway thank you for making me feel good. And have a nice day!

Thank you, Arsenjy for contacting and introducing yourself. Thank you for making my day! I am delighted to see your pictures and wish you greater successes from here forward.
I loved your pictures and think that it is a wonderful gift for everyone. Your photographs take us into a world that few of us have visited. I found several familiar elements in your pictures and the sense of comfort it gave me is truly amazing. Made me more and more aware of how small the world really is.

Thank you!
