I like this a lot, unusual low angle makes the whole story. Very good idea.

Thanks, Dave! I like to use low angles sometimes. It gives a completely different perspective. In this case, it gives a frog's perspective! - Ken

I don't think that camera angle would have occurred to me. Very nice! I agree with Jim, the blue sky adds to the shot. Dave

Thanks, Joshua, Jim, and Traveller, for your kind words. A lot of luck was involved in getting this image. I was trying to shoot an old log cabin, but the light on the cabin was terrible .. a lot of spotty light coming through the tree branches. As I was walking around, looking for a better angle, I spotted the toadstools ... and ended up with this. - Ken

Dear Mr. Christian:

It is your obvious intention to will all Challenges going forward because of your fine choice of subject and creative interpretation on the best way to shoot and present the image.

My I say congratulations on your demonstrable professionalism.

Best Wishes, Traveller

What a great find, and a better capture. Great lighting, and a fine composition made by keeping the camera at ground level. I love the blue sky as that "extra touch".
