For your excellent and unusual images such as this icefish from antarctica, compound eye of Antarctic krill, tomopterus and feast of other plankton, I award you the photographer's barnstar. Oceanographic subjects on Wikipedia would be impoverished without your contributions. -- Solipsist 4 July 2005 13:50 (UTC)

	Graphic Designer's Barnstar
	I, M@rēino, award this Graphic Designer's Barnstar to Kils for ice-edge and phytoplankton from NASA satellite images composed. Funky colors that actually deliver understandable scientific data -- awesome.

Hi Uwe! I better point out that my edits on Antarctic krill as a matter of fact was just of the menial copyedit kind. I am really not very knowledgeable about oceanography. I must say that I can't find Antarctic krill on da:Forside; however, I see that the article will be on the main page tomorrow. Congratulations on that one, the Antarctic krills and you sure deserve it!

Moreover, I (a Swede) will most likely make many silly mistakes if I try to translate to Norwegian, even if I read it fluently. With caution, I might be able to help out with a paragraph or two, though. I'll see what time I'll get to spare.

My name is Professor Uwe Kils. I am Ocean Photographer, have degrees in brick laying, violin building, informatics, computer sciences, biology, fisheries biology, marine biology and micro engineering, so I better know, what I have in front of my lens. Many cameras I built myself.

email: professor.kils at gmail.com

My most beloved server, online from the first days of the WEB from my NeXT computer (donated from d'ART) ecoSCOPE.com - the first image is in 3D - click on "teacher", "virtual microscope" or "space" and land directly under the iceberg in Antarctica.

I am from Scandinavian roots, in love with Norge, live sometimes in the USA.
