This image is the second of two taken of the same view. Last year I started
wondering whether a different view point would impact the effectiveness of a
scene, much like wandering in a semi-circle looking for a better angle. I
term it the 'mouse level'. In this case it turend a rather boring snap shot
into something with a bit more impact.

Quite nice. The only problem I have with those "worm's eye view" photos
is getting back up from the ground once I get down there to take them.

Nice! Great idea for the down-low PoV. Could you have gotten closer

Thanks Bruce, I have a growing collection of mouse level shots, will have to
build a GESO soon.

If I had been alone, yes on the closer :-) The lens was already at 18mm. I
would have preferred not to have the hut in the view but cropping would have
taken the sun out as well I think. And it wouldn't have owrked without it.
Perhaps I will try a vertical orientation.

Actually if it had been just Pat and myself I could have as well but the
people we were with don't do photos, at all.
