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.

What a creative idea to give such a colorful flower the B&W treatment - and it works very well...

That looks cool :)

It has taken on a prehistoric monster of a bird look! Fantastic treatment and it does look so cool in mono!

Oh, now you've turned it into a real bird. What a wonderful piece of abstract art.

This does indeed works well, I like both versions and indeed the shadow on the wall variation between the original and post worked version is interesting in it's difference.

A nice form and composition.

Very nice capture, employing a digifiddle process, of one of my favorite flowers, Andrea. At that angle, it sure looks similar to some shots I posted some time ago. And, i didn't know you could grow that species in the UK. Was this in a hot house of some sort?

The Bird of Paradise is so beautiful and colorful. An excellent post worked version here!
