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.

Love the mono. Did you see the antiques prog on BBC1 today, with all those perfume bottles????

This is a superb portrait pic in either mono or colour. I prefer the mono.

I agree with Jeff it works perfectly in Mono and is a wonderful portrait :)

I'd be hard pressed to say which version I like better. A terrific portrait!

I really like this version; the mono brings out his personality. And I'm jealous of the cottage in Scotland!

An outstanding no-holds-barred portrait of Clive in mono, Andrea, who does appear to be outside most of the time. I'm now on my way to check out the original.

Viewing both pictures I like this one more. Superb capture Andrtea. God bless.

Although I like the colour version, I knew right away that he has a face that demands a B&W treatment; your treatment is awesome!
wysiwig
Both portraits are excellent but definitely the black and white. It brings out all the character in his face. He looks for all the world like a man who has just come back from a circumnavigation in a small boat.

I like the B&W version because it brings out the features of his face.
