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!
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!
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.

Wonderful shot
auntietk
Oh man, that might have been the winning can! LOL! I like the way it sits on the yellow line, partly on and partly off. Makes for a wonderful composition!
ronmolina
Interesting!

When I first saw your image, I thought it was a terrible road kill.... Lucky its just a can and you can recycle it..... Aloha....

Wonderful shot well seen!!!!

Magnificent capture of this atrocious item, Andrea. I thought you didn't like this kind of subject matter. I have shots of trash and erosion that are overwhelming in size and scope that I neglect to post.

for Sharky, you can recycle roadkill.... just don't tell anyone the recipe.... Great shot Andrea

Interesting subject matter, it works well. sometimes the recycling lorry may spill the odd can and it gets flattened. Biggest problem around the country which I'm sure everyone hates tends to be the eroding road surfaces and potholes that are so deep they could have fish in them. :-)

The can maybe wasn't a winner for the intended contest,but it did become a winner by being selected to become a piece of your art.

An excellent statement on where we are today. If we keep going the way we are this is the only legacy we will leave behind. Let's hope no one was holding this when it got flattened.

Cool shot lady but why do people feel they must trash our earth there are proper places for such things.

Nicely organized!

The beach carpark has the best straight lines of all your street line postings. Was the soda can stuck in the paint?
