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 wonderful capture! I love the composition ... a beautiful portrait! It amazes me that you see these creatures just down the road from you. To me they're absolutely exotic! (Maardit poseer vir troue fotos?) :P Lief jou, Dierbaar! :X

Wonderful capture!

My two favorite exotic animals are not one of the big Cats, or the giraffes, or elephants (although they would be in my top 5), but the hippo and the rhino fill those 2 top spots. And this is what I would think of when thinking about a spectacular rhino shot. How exciting this must have been. BTW, this is a much better angle than a photo of it's bee-hind. :-)

Lovely. I love visiting these guys in our open planes zoo. They take you out in a 4WD and these guys come right up to the window. Thats when it occurs to me that if he wanted to, he could destroy me and the car in about 2 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful creature.

What a magnificent beast! Sterling clarity, lighting and texture effects in this splendid composition, Carin. Unknown to most people is that the fingernails and toenails of humans consist of the same material as the horns of a rhino. So, despite the apparent lack of resemblance, we are related in a certain way.

wow this must give you a rush

A super capture of this very impressive animal. I think he is watching you too.

Wow, to see one of these where it lives must be just amazing--great shot!!

Thick skin for sure - which I can see clearly now, even the tip of his ears - just like a paintbrush effect ... I agree with Andrea 'bottoms up' next, please BB
MrsRatbag
Fantastic detail in this wonderful shot...how cool it must be to see them out and about!
