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.

They probably call them leaves because they lave the trees in Autumn.

Lol, his wide eye and open mouth makes him look a tad miffed. Wonderful shot of the Autumn colors and worn textures in these fallen leaves Andrea.

Yes, he could look like he said that ;-) !! Wonderful shot. I love leaves. Especially the autumn ones. :)

Wonderful depth in this. A lovely arrangement, with just the right color balance. Ain't nature grand?
wysiwig
He does seem to be quite agitated. The one at top left seems amused by it all. A lovely capture with beautiful pastel colors.

A colorful array of leaves and the little bug may be "blinded by the light".

Yes, the flickr version has more color, and is more bright overall. But this one has a more reflective feeling, and the hues go through more transitions. It has the hues of the Northern Renaissance, and especially of Caravaggio (in his still lifes). Lots the use of black. This is terrific, Andrea, for detail and interaction. A number of the leaves are being eclipsed (as your complaining leaf in your description attests), and the decay of all kinds makes it a complex abstract. I really like this, it has some of the hues and "modeling" that you get in your color drawings, like the piece you posted for Ana, this year. A leaf still life. I really like this. It's wonderful in zoom.
