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.

That looks like a beating heart OK - reminds me of 'Blondie' singing her 1975 hit 'A HEART OF GLASS' Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing ... etc., etc. Happy Valentines Day Andrea, BB PS I have finally found some time again to visit the galleries - after a major clean-up, caused all around the property by the recent weather extremes ...

OH Andrea! This is the most lovely I have seen today. :)))

Beautiful.................!!

The choice of two! I also give the nod to the postworked version. Not because of the postwork totally, it is a more pleasing angle and a tighter crop of the goods. This also has charm and a beautiful valentine's theme.

I think Kevin has some good points. The post worked version 'pops' more as well. Its a great Valentine's Day image but just remember, oh dessicated one, you may consider yourself old but you are not yet dead. Know what I'm saying, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more. I do hope you have a pleasant day.

Just great for the day!

A better look at the bottle, inside the heart case, in the FlickR version. Both are beautiful still life Valentine's Day photos.

Both images are great, but I do have a preference for the other...something about it just goes well with the rose :D

I'm with you ... the other one has more appeal, somehow. Beautiful shots, both!
