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

Chickens do tend to move rather more quickly than at least my lens can capture...as do ducks and geese and especially blue herons! You did well getting the motion of this fleeing fowl!

OHH Carin, is there something I love, then it is Chickens. I love them of nostalgic reasone. My aunt had a yard with chickens and I loved to dig up rain worms for them as a little girl. They were acting so funny when they were fighting to get the worm. What a fun I had. That is why I SO love chickens and I love the sound of them too. This is a mighty lovely lady. So Kayla wanted to hug it LOL ! HAHAHA I smile at kbrog :-)

Interesting lighting effects in this stellar shot of the black and white feathered chicken, fleeing your Kayla, Carin! And, I have a difficult time each day trying to decide which one to pick among the gazillion images in my tons/tonnes of files, all of which I like.

I have those days, almost daily! As for this lovely lady...well...I always love to see chickens run. They're just so...well...chickenish. There are breeds of bipedal dinosaurs, known as "bird hipped" dinosaurs that probably ran in the same way. For some reason I find that hilarious! I mean, c'mon, velocoraptors running like naked chickens?! Ah, but as always, I'm rambling, and I have the image of chickens scuttling around in my mind. Needless to say that's also put a great big grin on my face. I love this shot by the way; it's a beauty. The colors are what really grab me as well as the chicken's expression! Her plumage and comb are wonderful, as is that really intense eye. It would also seem that chickens are smarter than we once thought: the term "bird brain" has been reexamined, scientifically, recently, and it's now known that chickens and other birds have larger, more complex brains that originally thought. I like that. I don't know why. I like this photo too, for many reasons that I CAN name. The quality is excellent...the sense of action is wonderful, and the whole image just brings a big smile to my face, especially as I imagine dinosaurs running like that too. Those predatory velociraptors ran like chickens...only big, mean predatory, pack-hunting chickens. Who'd have thunk it?
