Here's a theme we all should have some images for. It's very easy to get in the habit of shooting from a comfortable standing position yet some of the most interesting compositions are shot from very close to the ground. I hope this months crop of images will serve as a reminder to "Get down on it".
My starter was shot along the Lower Salt River near Saguaro Lake, Arizona
A focus stack, lying flat on ground .. well, almost

Ice Sculpture, Dream Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park. On my knees for composition and necessity, to keep the gale force winds from shaking the camera.

I had to get down on my belly with my chin the grass to get the right angle on this tiny Western Fairy Slipper.

I had to get down low for this shot in order to get the rock formation to appear higher than the distant background and make the foreground lines more prominent. I light painted the scene and had to focus stack four images since I was shooting at f2.8.
