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.

You have turned a colored picture from a cool looking day into a very cold day here.
Awesome done Andrea.

I agree with Glendaw and I like, that we see details in another way, when it is monocrome.

Nice capture Andrea. I like the monochrome look.

Looks a bit nippy just the day to sit inside with a cup of tea.

I prefer the black and white. It has greater visual impact. It must be nice to sit here on a sunny day and watch the world go by.

I agree with the majority of commenters - I really like the b&w version...

Excellent treatment Andrea, love all the tones.

definitely love the monochrome version better

Yup ... this is one where color adds nothing. Your composition and the angle of the shot are everything, and mono brings it all out beautifully. Love this!

Magnificent!!!

I think people would've liked the color version better if they hadn't compared it to the black and white. It's a fine shot of many angles and shapes, and moving from shadows to light. The black and white, however, accentuates the shadow and light: Your choice to go with total whites was perfect. It really sets off the many shadowed tones of the eating area and the cafe's insides. And, against all that white, the upper level is a jutting geometric pier. Terrific work, Andrea.
