Fits the theme, and it is interesting. At first I didn't like the toe just coming in on the right. But the longer I look, the more I like.

RichardFord said 1017 days ago:

Hey Ana, was shot with a 80 dollar canon P+S from under a bus stop seat. I just put it down and angled it at what I thought was a good collection of different legs. Dresses, suits, hand bags and shot. I couldn't really compose as I wasn't sold enough on the idea to get down on my guts - which I will readily do if need be. The cut of toe then was serendipitous - but I too like it and thinks it plays in well.

After all when down low to the ground - your perspective is very different. How would an ant or worm see this scene? ;-)

Anna said 1017 days ago:

This is a funny take on the theme! :)

RichardFord said 1017 days ago:

I think commuting always brings out some weirdness in humans. ;-)

Is the the view point of the dog or the kid under the bench, good going

RichardFord said 1017 days ago:

Much lower than dog... going for grass hopper here!

ursula said 1017 days ago:

I like the intruding shoes at both sides, and the variety of legs. Nice take on the subject.

RichardFord said 1017 days ago:

Crap! A good comment from Ursula. Now I will never sleep. I will feel all too proud and full of confidence. Such is the effect a token of appreciation from a shooter such as yourself can have on an aspirant like myself. :-s

ursula said 1017 days ago:

You could take a couple painkillers to deal with it, Richard :)

Trust me - I am well aware of the benefits of the Percocet after breaking my ankle. And I didn't say no when the dentist offered it to me after a root canal either. Alas, like a greedy little boy who likes his chocolate milk - they were all scoffed away. 1:30AM - I gotta get some shut eye. Early meeting tomorrow - but I feel as though I will be leaving a party as all these cool and new shots flood in.

I have an idea for a shot though. This would be pre planned shot #3 in my entire life. For this theme. So I am going to bed to think about how I will shot it this weekend to make my vision a reality.

Love this too

OMG! I feel like a sneaky foot voyeur while viewing this image! I'm so glad they are not playing "footsies!" The boot on the left has a bit of a disembodied feel, but overall...well done for this theme!

RichardFord said 1017 days ago:

@ Hiho

You just wait for the locker room theme. Then footsies will be the least of your concerns! ;-)

Mal said 1017 days ago:

I quite like it, it makes me wonder what all the stories are of the owners of these legs and the situation that they find themselves in. Beautifully fits the theme and a very nice thoughtful every day image.

interesting image. I really like the documentary feel. It's a little sloppy, but not in a bad way. Feels like a childs perspective. It's curious and interesting.

Beamer said 1016 days ago:

I remember doing this but in a bedroom!! A kid's eye view, little bugger!! Very nice b&w image!

Says Ground Level to me.

Cool.

ThelmaBlizzard said 1015 days ago:

It's good.

LBStone said 1011 days ago:

Perfect!

Beamer said 1011 days ago:

One of my fav's!! Congrats my friend!

Go the canon A480! I had the blue one. Takes MUCH better photo's than the red or grey ones.
