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

GREAT .. I am going out with the tallest girls in the Netherlands tomorrow. One day we did a photo shoot with one of them, 6f7 / 2m01 Suzan, and a giraffe (last year) in the Rotterdam Zoo It was GREAT fun. Suus had to look up for the first time in her life to a lady (giraffe)

This just a fantastic capture...love the lighting and the natural setting. Can't wait for September to share this with you. Bruce xx

I think, my dear Carin, that she would have to be very happy with this beautifully shot and elegantly presented animal portrait. My favourite creatures are meerkats [and, yes, they were long before the "Lion King" was released.] I'd establish a colony in the garden if I could. But giraffes are good, too [though not in the garden, I think!] Hugs, Mike xx

I managed to snap a few of these when Alan and I had our Zoo visit last Wednesday, I will see if I can find one worth posting. Mine won't have a backdrop like your's though Carin, how I wish it could, never mind though we got a day out. Superb capture, in it's natural habitat, free to roam about at will, but also in danger of being eaten. Excellent work and dedication. Bravo!!!!!

Question: how do you medically treat a giraffe with a sore throat? A million lozenges? Tea and honey? Salt water? Several bottles of Listerine? Actually, I don't have an answer. Fine composition of the majestic animal, with its neat texture pattern, contrasted against the veldt background foliage, Carin!
