I had actually thought of taking my husband's feet. But then I decided to put my wreath on the floor. After that I thought that what I could have done was to put the phone on the floor and shoot up at the wreath. So here are two. Helen, you nailed the first shot (with the bonus of the reflections). In the second shot, the camera is pointing upwards to capture the wreath. IMHO, it fits WPC #64 - Look Up. |

My camera was not on the ground, but this pair of antelope was ~250 m away and so the relative angle was very low. Taken today, Nov 16, 2020. We grow a few cactus and agaves in pots outdoors in summer ... they are only potted plants we have outside because watering is sketchy when we are away in summer. But every fall I bring them indoors and they are lighted with LED grow lights for 12 hours each day. Clive, I don’t think your first shot is an interpretation of this week’s theme. However, with the second one, you nailed "Ground Level". Good job! |

Not exactly level, but meets the ground description ... Pete, I think this shot would be a perfect interpretation of WPC #63 - Look Down. Hopefully you will try shooting for this theme again. Looking forward to it. |

Two photos of the same wooden beam (an old gate post) that lies next to the barn at my father-in-law's farm. First is the same subject as in the shot I posted above, but photo taken and developed today. Second one is also in the same beam, but with a different look. The beam lies on the ground, and I was on my stomach when I took the shots. I think I "nailed" it.  Rick, WOW! You definitely nailed the "Ground Level" theme (and did it with not one but two amazing shots). Great job! |

One more from down low. Lockdowns have made traffic much, much lighter. Bill, another great "Ground Level" interpretation, with a composition to die for -- leading lines, curves, vanishing point. |

This theme certainly is resulting in a lot of variety! Good subject. This time of the year vegetable gardening has migrated to the basement - these are fenugreek microgreens growing in soil 3 days after sowing - now under lights and will be good to eat in another 3 days. Tony, what an interesting subject to shoot at ground level! It looks like a miniature forest. I love the lighting! |

Another shot from today at the farm. I was having fun crawling around on the ground with my 100mm macro lens. I don't break it out often enough. This is just a branch broken off from a tumbleweed on some recent windy day. Processed in Lightroom and Silver Effects 2. Rick, your crawling on the ground paid off. This is "Ground Level" taken to another level. Beautiful B&W! |

Just one more from a camera club visit to the local golf club today - closed for the winter so I was able to get down to ground level on the fairway of the par 4 !st hole. Tony, another nailed ground-level shot. This is a classic! Spot-on focus, great DOF. |

kdcintx , I’m hard pressed to pick one of the two shots; they are both great examples of what this week’s theme is all about. But, in the end, the dog wins. I love seeing both of you on ground level!
