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

When I saw your image title, I thought for sure I'd see a picture of Bruce.. :) Beautiful shot this is ...

He is a magnificent King, wearing those "jewels" upon his forehead like the royalty he is - even if he does "sniff himself" like that. The richness of the light on his mane gives the further touch of gold to his highness and the glimps of dark flank contrasts so well. Stellar shot.

All hail the king!!!! The leaves look apt, and in no way detract from his stately presence. Those eyes are amazing!!!! Wonderful capture, ans most appreciative of the share!

A fabulous portrait, really impressive!!

Good heavens, Simba in all his glory! And shades of The Chronicles of Narnia! I wonder, if the old boy was to be shorn of his long hairy locks, whether he would lose his strength, ala Samson. He has the tiniest pupils in his eyes...could have been looking directly into bright light, or is that normal for this big cat species? And, are those petals on his forehead? But I digress. Superlative color and texture in this magnificent portrait, Carin!

I love the way their manes change colors from light to dark!!

So very regal. You can see why he is called the king of the beasts
