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

Nicely done! I'm still fiddling around with this, trying to decide ... I like the choices you've made here! Excellent work.

I'm still not sure about this technique! I come from the 'tight and sharp' brigade, and it's taken me ages to get to grips with adventurous postwork. We'll see.

Straight out the vaults of the Metropolitan Police Scotland Yard archives, they were all about an unidentified serial killer, a little known chap by the name of Jack the Ripper, you did well for a first crack of the whip my friend! This would make a top background for a Ripperologist web site, I should know, I am a Ripperologist, and have visited a few :D

It is fun to fiddle with. By chance, I just did my first one yesterday too. Think I will do my next one using a layer mask to keep my subject from being grunged.

Beautiful work!

That is great, Carin! Wonderful tones and textures, ... all you needed was a crow sitting atop the lamp post!

Wow, this is masterful! YOU FIRST attempt? Great work, I love the simplicity, clean lines and, of course, the grunge.

Well, even after having seen the preliminary attempts, this is stunning and deserves a second glance in this art form. I think your ultimate choice of which areas to leave ungrunged is excellent. Keep up the good work, I would love to see more.

Carin you succeeded beautifully, and as for the atmosphere, well this scene has it in bucket fulls, very well done dear friend. hugs Jane xx

Oh, that's how grunge is supposed to look! That is simply stunning, Carin! You really hit the nail on the head with your first attempt. I'd better reassess my strategy and try to come up with something more deserving of the name in my concepts. And,your title perfectly describes the past month vis-a-vis my health and family relationships.
