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.

I'm with you on the color ... it's delightful! The deep purple of the dark splotches and the naughty bits is gorgeous, and if I were a pollinating insect, I would be there straightaway! :)

Cool lighting and texture of the bloom. I love poppies with their crepe paper petals.

What a beauty. The dark bits look like chocolate on my monitor which just makes this more attractive.

A beautiful frontal shot, the petals look like crepe, and the hue is gorgeous against all that dark green. (And I like what you did with the background, breaking it into small droplets of hue with all that black around them.) The stamens are beautiful and detailed, and of course their hue stands out beautifully against the petals. A splendid shot; and with that top-right petal bent over, it's like it's wearing a hat, or has bangs. Beautiful flower work, Andrea.
