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 fullest zoom, this oozes mystery...I think from the deep tree shadows, and from the tangled branches. And your quiet sepia makes the postbox standout like a strange sentinel. A beautiful photo, Andrea, with real mystery and ambience, and your sepia gives it all a feeling or memory. Beautiful, mysterious work.
(the flickr is more straight forward, and the postbox feels almost regal in your pov.)

Very nice work Andrea. I like the selective coloring very much.

I like the B/W photo with the red pillar box, looks very effective.

We no longer have mailboxes scattered around neighborhoods. USPS will pick up mail from your personal box. Or you can go mail it at the post office.

This is such an iconic figure and I hope it will always be a part of England. Your capture and selective color really show it off very well.

cool contrast !

It has such a sense of Presence and Importance with your selective colour treatment; seems as though post boxes are becoming an anachronism, with vandalism and terrorism making them not the icons of trustworthiness that they once were. Super shot and treatment.

What I LOVED about my visit there... the post boxes and the phone booths! Nice selective coloring!

I like this. Its relaxing just to look at it. I also like the way you emphasized the mail box.

Thing of the past for us !
Like how you have made this one stand out so well with the b/w background.
