Lol. I take pictures with my cell phone. I mostly take them of things I want to paint. I am pretty good at composition... execution well not so much. But it's fun, free and at 70 I figure that's enough.
The finch and collie are excellent. The light and dark around the collie are well done and really add to the portrait. Blow it up, frame it and hang it on the wall. It tells all kinds of stories. ;=)
