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 Tara said. Rather whimsical creation but then I like whimsical. At first reading I thought it was Chateau Bleu. That reminded me of a movie which starred Peter O'Toole titled 'My Favorite Year' where the character played by Lainie Kazan welcomes O'toole with the words "Welcome to our humble chapeau.

I don't know how you physically did this (and the flickr shot doesn't explain it either), but it's a terrific concept. More of your minimalist/rich design work. Love the bottle and box against that blue 'wavy' frame, and the stark purple background with your edge work placed in a few spots, very effectively. (in the flickr version, you did a lot more edge work, and you also have a window reflection which makes it an entirely different shot---which I like just as much as this one. This one is much more direct and minimal.) The angle of the box is intuitive, and in harmony with the bottle's jutting angle. And the overall composition---crowded into one corner, with all that purple and blue above it---is perfect. Another terrific entry into this series. I'm telling you, if you had a book of these perfume shots, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
