Mini-Challenge #92 - Down Low

Alright, mini-challenge #92!

Your theme is: Down Low.

What I want to see are all those wonderful shots you took while laying on your belly somewhere. Maybe in your kitchen, maybe in a park, perhaps in the middle of the sidewalk... I want to see your best three of what's going on in the world down there.

Just to be clear, I'm not really looking for shots taken down low that look upward, but shots from a very low vantage point of something happening down at/near ground level.

The challenge starts March 22, 2010 and ENDS SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 2010 AT MIDNIGHT (this has changed!!!)

Thanks and good luck!

===============================
OUR UN-OFFICIAL GENERAL RULES
1. Have fun sharing and seeing what others share!
2. The host supplies a topic and you post 1-3 images. The host judges the winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and is not eligible to enter.
The 1st place winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner and then passes on the baton to the new champion.
3. Any photo you’ve taken is eligible, regardless of when taken or camera used.
4. Any amount of post-processing is allowed. However, it is helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo.
You may comment on other contestant's images. If you want someone to leave you some critique or criticism, just ask within your post.
5. The winner has up to three days (72 hours) to begin a new mini-challenge, or the honor goes to the #2 finisher and so forth.

Guidelines:
1. Enter 1-3 photos and put them in a single post.
2. Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).
3. Also try and resize your photos prior to posting so they're sized appropriately for viewing without having to scroll (~800 pixels on the longest side works best.)
4. Give each image you enter a title.
5. Enjoy discussion with members about their images, don't let this just be an entry thread!
6. Don't be hesitant, share'em and enter!

    Spring shoots
    My goodness - I just shot this two days ago, and now it fits the theme... Really on my stomach, and really covered with ants (little black ones, no problem except they kept crawling out of shirt when I was working on the computer). I'll have to think about others.

    Kinkajou--Great idea!clap.gif
    Already there are some awesome entries.
    This just goes to show how little I think outside the box, that I don't have a thing to contribute--this will definately get me out there for some fresh images--one which I've been pondering for a while.

    Thank you.

    Your examples are great--I'm thankful your first one is not a contender rolleyes1.gif .

    BTW rainbow--the frog cracked me up.

    This is a fun one, perfect for some recent stuff I did! It looks like a leaf-fest here.

    I love the feet at the counter and what can I say, the frog truly speaks to me! :D

    Of the photos below, I took the 1st two several weeks ago after some snow, and the last one this weekend after the thaw.

    This 1st one really is a leaf sitting on some snow. I placed it there. In my gallery it is titled "Oh no, Mr Bill!! mwink.gif
