Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Â
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper! Â
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

Nice portrait!, I agree, people you dare to be themselves gives this world more color.

How many people have the luxury of being themselves? Great shot.

Superb capture Andrea. God Bless.

Good one. In all my years, I don't remember ever wearing a pair of braces!

This is a super image, he looks American, must be the hat.

A real character and a powerful looking guy! A street portrait of someone in their environment, excellent shot! You do see a range of people "dangling" as in is known to us that never have caught anything.

Very good shot of this guy and he looks a little surprised.
greyone
Wonderful candid portrait of this fellow
MrsRatbag
I think he seems to be posing for you; he looks a bit full of himself!
Hendesse
Excellent portrait of this real character. Superb!

Looks more like a biker than a fisherman, that said he may be exactly that, we have to have hobbies, no matter our social standing. Wonderful image Andrea.

Excellent candid shot of this dude Andrea. The braces,bling,and shades are a perfect fit. The cowboy hat and long beard makes me think of Kenny Rodgers.

He looks like some kind of a pro - not sure in what but a real interesting character for sure.
MrsLubner
He really looks to be a very down to earth guy and one of good humour. Well done.

Great Shot.

I thought he looked like an American. The shirt just confirms my belief. This is a super portrait. We have truckloads of people like him in our southern states.

Bling, character, great clarity, composition and lighting effects all rolled into one, Andrea! He has to be from the southern part of the USA. I bet he has a gun rack in his pickup truck. This colorful bloke could easily pass for Burl Ives, actor and folk singer, now deceased.

I vote for the idea he's from the U.S., too. Shirt, hat, glasses. Terrific candid!
whaleman
Who knows, maybe that hook is being set for you!

cool guy and shot !
danapommet
I didn't notice the knife in your last post of the "Random Angler" so I am going to say that he is a handsome, fine, young man! LOL

He seems to be enjoying the attention I wonder if he caught any fish in that choppy water Great pic Hugs Susan~
