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.

A big beautiful rose shot, with all kinds of petals close together, and those shadows, and with that intensifying orange hue as one goes to the center. Like a big head of lettuce. Very sensual, very delicate, and that orange-ochre in the center is wonderful. Terrific shot for Dana's birthday. For any birthday. I hope to shoot flowers like this one day...

What a wonderful rose! I like how you chose to shot it from "the front", so all those petals and curved lines are shown in their full elegance...
