Entry 2.. Thank You by the way, I'm honoured that you used one of my images as an example. :)

I took this recently and nearly deleted it- but then figured it was quite a quirky perspective.

Cool one Bruce. The link is to images shot underwater, a perspective many of us don't normally experience. The grand prize winner is particularly a good example of the current theme.

The thing I like about this photo is the POV revealed so much sparkle in an ordinary pine tree...

How about the view through a bugs eye as a different perspective on the world? I think this one needs glasses...or do I need a bugs brain to match the eyes:)

The photograph is the Bay Hotel, it was built directly above the original sea wall. It is known locally as the Bates Motel. I Kid you not On wild nights the sea lashes at the windows of the hotel. A very scary spot

A Sammamish River overpass railing; I was trying to get a view of the whole thing, and when I went back to see how it came out I noticed that the perspective seems very skewed, but kind of interesting and I rather liked it...

One from my gallery.Should crop it as the framing is "Old School" and tacky, but the image is OK.

rainbows ( ) posted Mon, 28 April 2008 at 2:20 PM

I like this worms view! It is a bright and beautiful shot. Diane.

dbyrd ( ) posted Tue, 29 April 2008 at 10:01 AM

Straight on but from a low angle.

busi2ness ( ) posted Tue, 29 April 2008 at 12:19 PM

Along the vein of Ra3vyn and Sickmind69, another animal entry. I don't usually experiment with my pets but in this case the perspective just shouted for some of the limelight...

Well, I think this is a sort of odd perspective, a tree from the top. Fortunately I didn't have to hover over it to get my shot as it was a deceased pine lying on it's side.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless?
