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

What a gorgeous photograph! The reds are perfect, and that's not easy to do. Stunning! Heartfelt thanks to Piet for kicking your behind and making you drop by! He's a hard taskmaster, and it's good you've listened to him. :| Have a wonderful trip! I'll hope to see pics when you get back. Give Bruce a hug for me, and keep one for yourself. :)

Hi my friend - so, the next phonecall for me would probably also be from Piet... still struggeling on this side of the Vaal - not posting, not commenting... although no holiday to look forward to. Great picture... XXX

I love the composition and the subtle pinks in the flower look great with the hot reds. I do hate the border though - takes away from the flower's beauty (sorry) Nevertheless, a beautiful image to see today!
