Oh yes that works for me, very different and well presented too......... I would'nt want to carry a tripod as tall as that about though! :biggrin:

Unusual image , I like it though , maybe a slightly tighter crop to emphasize those shadows.

Excellent! I agree with the tighter crop suggestion

Leave it as is for me. Refreshingly different too.
Best wishes

As is for me too Steve - that's some camera platform you got there :toast:

Hi Steve,

Brilliant! I'd leave it as it is! Unusual but a cracking capture!

A very different viewpoint and the shadows are just great.
Posted by Magnus Hird on March 26, 2008 at 1:25 PM
Really interesting viewpoint and the details in the shadow shapes are fab!

Steve,

Excellent take on one of my all time favourites, No idea who produced the one I saw a few years back but it was a herd of elephants, It was difficult to make out the somewhat camouflaged animals viewed directly from above, however the enormous shadows they cast were plain to see.

Thanks for posting, I really like this one as well.
