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

I always thought of Flamingos as such elegant birds and you captured this one at an awkward moment or so it seems - human after all! - LOL good luck to you Carin - for another trip to the USA ? a precious moment here, BB

Stunning clariy, color and textures in this stellar photo of the magnificent avian tending to its physical needs, Carin

full-size is a must...the detail is lush & the colors, as the feathers move downward, are beautiful. Fine framing too, with the bird wound-in on itself & the image cropped to completely surround it. It's a closeup of something which might seem merely interesting from a distance, but which is opulent and beautiful up close. Your cropping is always very sensitive, carin, and the details here are beautiful.

A very beautiful capture of this fascinating creature; I love their colour too, and the fact that they always seem to be somehow grooming themselves...
