Perspective: Get Down!

Challenge #2 in the Ways of Seeing series. Hosted by jezsik.

Challenge has finished

With few exceptions (e.g. macro), nearly all of our images are taken from eye level. Lie down and your perspective changes. Show us your images of the world from a Lilliputian point of view. (Note the Additional rules!)

Announced:

Saturday, 25th July, 2009 (GMT)

Submissions:

Saturday, 1st August, 2009 – Friday, 7th August, 2009 (GMT)

Voting:

Saturday, 8th August, 2009 – Friday, 14th August, 2009 (GMT)

Processing rules:

No composite images.
No overdone retouching (but feel free to improve the image as much as is warranted.
No frames.
No watermarks (e.g. signature)

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

No macros or closeups! (That's too easy.)
Your image should be created below knee level (unless you stand eye-to-eye with Yao Ming - in which case you should keep it to ankle hight).
It should be quite obvious that the image was taken near the ground. Setting your camera on the edge of the cliff is technically ground-level, but does not give you ground-level perspective.
With only 150 submissions, please submit only outstanding images. If you have a ground-level snapshot that meets the criteria, think twice before entering and denying a spot for a really good image.
