I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. IÂ want nature and peace around me, yet IÂ do not want to relinquish digital photography. IÂ have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. IÂ do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where IÂ do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet

Happy Birthday to Ronnie! Great photo, Piet. What a beautiful animal.

Wow. Notice the polished tips of the horns...the small marks were the long "feeler" hairs emerge on the brow...the swirls of hair at the ear and beside the nostril... so much detail and so tenderly captured.

Seems like a dogs age since I've been here, I get caught up in 3d stuff all the time. Nobody stole my avatar, I decided to move on and changed my name. Fabulous capture, I love your African wildlife captures, and the detail here is incredible.

Exquisite closeup with lovely side lighting and sweet words in your birthday dedication.
