I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

Excellent start KAI!!! I can see that you are messing around now eh! Oh well this is an amazing shot.. and i know exactly what you did to it cause i remember the original. :) here is an advice.. it is 10% blurry tho.. and in that cause since it is a small resolution post.. if you will sharpen the whole image it will be over sharpened or pixilated.. so from the filter menu goto sharpen and from the submenu please choose sharpen edges ;) see what it will do.. amazing and keep going i am watching you now! :) Bravo!!

Magnificent! Expressive colour combination adds to the contrast of crisp flower against a dark blurry bg. Multiplied by the dynamism of the composition it makes a masterpiece of photoart. Two thumbs up!
