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.

Interesting postwork and "abstract"
hansmar
Great abstract work!
kaward
A mesmerising abstract! Rotated 90 left there is a crazy head and face obvious in the balloon, try it!

I do love the postwork you've done here

This works so well, great post work presenting a whole new perspective on the original piece you captured.

I see nothing goes to waste with you. It seems you've created a silk purse out of a sow's ear. This would make a wonderful wall hanging or print.
goodoleboy
Your timely digifiddling converted this sow's ear into a cool productive image. Excellent fodder for a horror movie, Andrea.

It makes a great abstract, nicely rescued!

I agree with the abstract comments but I have to confess that I thought I was looking at a rising full moon! Love the postwork!

OH, that is one of the happy accidents. It looks quite beautiful.

exactly. Exactly. It doesn't matter what you originally started to do, because somewhere along the line the image spoke a whole other language, and kazam: You got this beauty. It's an abstract that almost 'droops' onto the page. And it has beautiful rust tones, like the rust hues on a copper plate, something almost metallic. And your postwork gives us your usual layers and colonies, all in concentric formation like those canyons and rock formations in Tara's gallery---only these are of the mind, not of real stone. LOVE that purple and blue splotch in the lower left; love your rust reds; and that balloon is a wonderfully droopy affair, with layer upon layer adding to it (and those 'energy-fields' on the striated edges). Man, do I like your abstractions. I always love it when you do near-abstraction, and to see how your mind plays with all the nooks and crannies; how you vitalize it with wonderful hues; and how you find all those colonies and energy-lines messing around. Lucky freakin' balloon. It never had a better representation, believe me...

This looks amazing, Andrea. A most fantastic and creative Image. I'm really impressed by your work (here, and in your gallery!)
