I enjoy pictures of nature. especially the ones of the dark orange sunsets. The beach pixtures are always fun to look at with the water in the back ground. His pacific northwest pictures were my favorite.

I think these are cool pictures. Very clear. I think that the hardest part to taking these photos is finding the right shot to take. Old people would like these photos i think.

I think his work is really really good, I really liked the Pacific Northwest gallery, and not just because it's where we live. I really like the third photo in it a lot. The difficulty could be getting the right type of lighting. I think any type of person would purchase it because it's really good. I could see myself taking pictures as good as thing. I think his prices are a bit ridiculous cause nature photography really isn't too hard. Many other people could get the same shot, and sell it for cheaper.

I really like Bill Atkinson's work. Nature photography is my favorite. The rock gallery is stunning. Being able to experience the rich color and detail of different minerals up close is phenomenal. The photos are beautifully abstract.

I kind of like this work. I liked most of his photos. I do think that this type of photography would be challenging to do.

His work is unusual and full of natural things, which isn't a bad thing. I like the Rock gallery because it looks cool. A thing that is probably difficult or challenging is finding things that are interesting to take pictures of.

I think that his work is really breathtaking. The elegance of all the pictures are amazing. My favorite gallery though has to be Hawaii. I've always thought that Hawaii was a beautiful place but after seeing those photos makes me realize how more spectacular it is. I don't think I could ever see myself taking as great of pictures though; that would take years of practice and I don't have that much time on my hands.

My favorite gallery was "Smoky Mountains" because it had a sense of relaxing and peaceful nature. His work is not abstract but is very easy to read and is very calm... Something challenging having to do with his work would be setting up the scene, making sure everything is perfect without it actually being perfect. I could see myself taking pictures like his but that would involve me having picture taking talent which I do not have. He has talent and a lot of it..

i think this art work is very cool and interesting. I really like the one where there was water flowing on a rock. I think it would be really challenging to get this type of clarity and coloring in the pictures. E. Coeto

I love this guy's work. It is so breathtaking and shows just how magical nature can really be. I really loved the pacific northwest gallery the best, though he would have had to be very patient in order to get some of these great shots and he really must have needed to take lots of shots to get the right ones.

I enjoy his work although there are many pictures that resemble each other. My favorite gallery was the rocks. It is probably difficult to get lighting and angles right. His work is pretty good, but to be honest, I think anyone with a nice camera could take pictures like that. The prices are crazy high, and i haven't even heard of the guy.

His artwork is really good,he takes awesome pictures. This artwork is difficult because most of nature is moving or changing. The biggest challenge would what to take a picture of next. There's so many things to take pictures of. The people who would purchase this stuff would be nature lovers. Not at all, i would need years of practice.

I think that his work is very good and he is a very talented photographer. My favorite gallery was his rocks and the flower pictures. I think that their are good because they are very clear and vivid but not too over whelming. I think it is very difficult to take macro-shots so I tend to respect photographers that do them well. I think people that buy his work could be just normal people looking for a cool shot to put on their mantle or people that own business's and are looking to put some very good nature shots up. I can see myself taking pictures like his hand but I would need a better camera and a tripod or a steady hand.(:

I think his work is really cool. I like the Death Valley. The difficult part is to find The stuff and capture it. The people that buy the pictures are really rich or really like good art. I don't see myself taking pictures like him. It would take some good equipment to take pictures like that. And his prices are way too high.

I think that his work is really good and creative. My favorite gallery is the flower portrait one. I think people who like the out doors and thos kind of things would buy his work.

At last, we go back to the source. I love exoctic nature pictures, they remind you that the world is not such a devloped place yet. Long live the wolf, may their beards grow forever longer and may the wizard turn himself into a toad. T.Eliason

I think his pictures look amazing. I would love to be as good as a photographer as him, but I doubt that will ever happen. I also think many people would buy his painting because they look so good and they would be good to have around the house. Although his prices are crazy, they cost so much money, which could be a problem with people buying them.

what do i think of his work i think its very cool there are lots of people in world that take picture of things that open there mind right away.
who are the people that buy this. i think the people that are more relax and chill and like to paint or design .
prices i think people that have money would buy this and people that don't would talk about it but i think its to much for just a picture.

I thought his work was very cool. The gallery that stuck out to me was the "newest" album because I thought it was the best out of the other ones I saw. This kind of work would be challenging to do because you have to find a way to take unique pictures. You need to do this because there is so many people that take nature pictures.

I think that his work is really pretty and interesting. Personally, I believe that nature photos are the best type of pictures. I think that people that are really into nature would purchase his artwork, or really rich people. I think that his prices are outrageous, but that's how he makes a living, so it's kind of understandable. I wish I could see myself taking photos like this, but they're so good, so I can't.

I love this dude's work! He has a good eye for capturing just the right angle. I really liked the Hawaii gallery because I have been there a few times and the jungles over there are beautiful, his photos really show how pretty they are. His prices are CRAZY (bad)!!!!! Anyone with a camera can take a good picture, I would never pay that much for photographs.
Rich artsy people probably buy his work because it's expensive.

I think his work is nice & not that unique. I like the sky one because it gives me peace. I think the difficult type of his art work would be finding his object.
