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 fine shot! The light and shadow on his head give such an angular feel to his look ... almost like a statue. And that color!! What a gorgeous bird. The decision to have this beauty as your national bird was a good one!

Nicely captured Carin. Isn't it funny how one gets used to these things? Computers? I remember saying 'I don't need a computer', and now I feel helpless if it doesn't work!

a fine one, this older shot, Carin, oh and how I know about the computer not in reach, when needed...lol... got my harddrive replaced as I have to do my own backups from now on, cause especially vue takes up so much backupspace I busted our normal backup...lol

I've never seen one of these beauties before, and I'm glad you found it and decided to post it. Fantastic! I love the whole sense of motion and the visual excitement of those feathers doing what feathers do whenever birds take off or land, or just flounce around, probably trying to scare off rivals. This is quite a marvelous shot.
