I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Very clever use of selective colour, my dear Carin. The subject [as you know] is especially poignant for me, so thank you for that also. Hugs Mike xx

Excellent capture Carin, good use of selective colour. I admire those guards doing what they do, I don't think I could spend the time they do just marching up and down, it would drive me nuts. I have to agree with Alan, a powerful image. Bravo!!!!!

This is a "class" use of selective coloring if I ever saw one. Excellent work!

Nice picture, I just visited there last week with my son who's in the army and it was a humbling experience. The guards are there in all type of weather. They have a very strict policy and only a very few qualify.

Again a stunning experience and an excellent shot. Perfect use of selective desaturation. Cheers, Clive ;)

Its a powerful reminder of those that were lost in battle and never returned or returned unclaimed. Your postwork is a lovely tribute to this monument. and its a great shot to boot!

A beautifully captured picture Carin. It is amazing that this image was taken and posted by a visitor to this country. I have never been to Arlington, but occasionally I attend military functions, including funerals, and I get chills down my spine when I listen to tabs being played. Thanks for posting this, Sig...

Striking message which a number of us can associate with all over the world. Good choice for the selective coloring.

I've had the privilege of participating in a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb Of The Unknowns. It was a somber and unforgettable moment. A few years ago, many years after the wreath laying, I revisited Arlington and visited all the grave sites that have unfortunately been added over the years such as the Challenger memorial, Pete Conrad (astronaut), Stuart Roosa (astronaut), David Walker (astronaut), Pan Am Flight 103, the First Gulf War headstones, and many others.
