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

This is a really good news! I remember when I was a child there was a girl living on the same street (she was about 4-5 yrs younger than me), and she had the same problem, but her heart's hole never shrunk and she was supposed to have a surgery... This is a very lovely portrait, and she is a beauty!

That is wonderful news! I had a friend in school with that exact same problem, and she had to have heart surgery in 7th grade. So happy to hear she's doing so well, and maybe next time at check-up there will be no hole at all. She is a beautiful girl.

Wonderful picture and wonderful news !

Oh, Carin, this is indeed wonderful news. My niece had the same problem, and in fact was going to need surgery. The came for that, and my sister had to hand her daughter to the nurse, and watch her go thru those doors to the operating room. Less than an hour later, the doctor walked out with a huge smile on his face. They hadn't been able to do a particular test the day before because my niece put up such a fuss. When she was sedated for the surgery, they did the test---and the same thing---the hole had closed!! She's now 22, and a beautiful young woman!!

Beautiful portrait.

This is fantastic news and I take it as an omen, since right now I'm dealing with the fact that Corey has a hole in his heart as well and needs surgery! Ugh...it sucks when anybody needs surgery and it's worse when your best friend needs it! He's in good shape now, but the effects of his cardiac condition are evident (he's no longer able to walk insane distances before realizing that he's walked an insane distance--up stairs no less!) As for this picture, it's marvelous and full of vibrant life. I always feel that black and white photography reveals more of the emotional nature of the subject and that's definitely the case now. This is a superb shot and it has good news with it also. Fantastic work on multiple levels.

Thank you for sharing this Carin. We can all use more good news these days. It's a wonderful picture with a vintage look to it, like a classic Hollywood portrait.

Ag Hunny, Ek is gelukkig om te hoor jou nuus! Geniet jou week met Madam. Ek sien daarna uit om jou praat, en verhoor dat jy het gemaak 'n dokter afspraak! Lief vir jou, Dierbaar! :D This is a beautiful portrait of Kayla. She is growing like a weed, and I can see it happening before my very eyes in this photograph! You are blessed indeed, skat. :X
