From The Forest Floor
Canon 300D , EF 17-40/4.0L USM @ 34mm , f/4.0 , 1/100s , ISO 200 , RAW
A shot for the Unusual Viewpoint challenge on DPChallenge. The shot was actually taken upside down, and then flipped, cropped, part was desaturated, and then the color saturation and constrast was upped a bit. Some dodging took care of the hilites in the bark mulch.
I think it gives a neat vision of the trees, and a unique perspective from the forest floor.

A suggestion I got makes me wonder whether this shot would work better if the glasses cut diagonally across the frame. I tried it, with some liberal photoshop cloning to fill in the extra space generated by the rotate, and I like it. Maybe I’ll post it.
