Excellent shot, great angle, and nice expression! I like it very much.

Funny b.c. it was this type of shot that had me craving the fisheye! LOL! My daughter and I had read a book together and on the cover the characters were shot like this. It seemed like such a fun thing. I knew I'd find a thousand other uses for it, but this, along with Iso's incredible self portrait where he's bent over and looking into the camera, were what sent me over the top in my desire to aquire the lens.

I'd decided to dodge the corners b/c there was nothing of interest there and actually were more of a distraction. This effect helped to direct the viewer to the important part of the frame.

Thanks,
Lonnit

I never knew a fisheye could give the effect of such a different perspective. Shows what a creative person (Lonnit) can do with such a tool.

Good one again Lonnit! I like the oval effect you gave to this compo. It works well. -Cat

That's just the amazing thing about the fisheye; I just stood next to him and pointed down and got this great perspective. ~ Lonnit

Wonderful capture and angle.

The perspective is what makes this shot, but Lonnit, were you hanging from the ceiling for it? I know you're not that tall!

Ha ha, very cute. Can't you re-shoot it and post it eligible. I bet it will get a lot of votes. Then again, why.
