Default From the eye of an ant.!!

Hello again everyone. Well, Yesterday I was playing with my little pals Jake, Jasper and Floppy on the garden, when this big old frog appeared. My wife jumped off the sunbed and ran, and I jumped up and got my camera and thought how do I get an intersting shot of him, then, I remembered my combat lessons and got down prone on the floor and this is what came out................Thanks for taking a look

A frog from the eye of an ant.

Here's looking at you kid!

The sun was in his eye. lol.

The sun is in my eye.

Jake

Well done with this one. A different perspective is always so much more interesting.

Wow! Jake, you've captured an awesome set here.. what detail and angles .. they're fantastic and belong in National Geographic .. I wonder where he was prior to your lawn, that's either mouse hairs from lunch, or egaads not in your laundry fresh from the line .. whatever you do - don't tell your wife ..
