Hi Folks! I am very much a novice at digital photography and only at the start of my journey. However, I am learning a little more with each effort, particularly in the area of composition. My friend Andrea, Durleybeachbum, has been most encouraging and its really down to her that I have appeared on this site at all! I would like to thank everyone so far who has posted kind comments about my photos. It has given me the confidence to take more pictures and upload them. I live in Devon, England, and we have some of the most scenic areas in the country with a great variety of countryside and terrain eg the moors, woods, the coast, rural villages, etc. Most of my photos will be of this area and  I am probably going to stick mainly to landscape and architectural subjects as these are the ones that give me the most enjoyment. But who knows in time I may venture into other areas as my experience builds up.Â

Could say "Hello !" at Felix for me ? He seems to be so aware and friendly. Your shot owns a tenderness which is truthfully clever for me, thank you my dear.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Felix is a Polish emigre whom I got to know shortly after the death of my Father, who was also a displaced person from that part of the world. Felix spent his days alone lying in bed in his small one bedroom flat. Believe me, it took quite an amount of effort to persuade Felix to sit up and have his picture taken. But the instant I pressed the button of my camera his face lit up and I realised that I had captured a very special portrait. I hope that I will retain such a spirit as Felix's should I reach such an age and find myself in similar circumstances.
