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.

in full zoom, we see the postwork in your background leaves, and it's luscious and layered. The flower itself is a big burst, where the moisture covers the stamens like they were preserved in a sweet gel. Amazing texture. The petals are also very sensual, with those big drops,deep pinks and pink-reds---you caught these hues deeply, here. Your crop allows the flower to dominate the image; and its dripping pinks wash us over with their beauty. A real beauty of an image, Andrea, with your usual thoughtful postwork which is creative but not intrusive. A beautiful burst of a capture.

Your flowers are such extroverts (no shrinking violets here). I love the big bold colors.
