Down low for a good shot

These mallard ducks were photographed in Emo Court Co. Laois.  To get this shot I had to lay down on the ground.  And the reason for that was you're not going to get a interesting photo if you are standing up and pointing a camera at them.  By lying down not only are you getting a full body shot but a interesting background to frame them against.  I try whenever possible to get down low for any picture where the subject I am photographing is smaller than me.

    I too like the angle you took this photograph from. It makes it exceptional. I also like the use of the technique where part of the photo is b&w and the duck is in color.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and it was a pleasure to find yours. I enjoy your photography very much.

    Hi John
    I just wanted to stop by and thank you for visiting my blog. It appears that I am your first visitor. I really enjoyed all your pictures. I like the way you used photoshop to get the effects on the mallard picture. I'm still playing around with it. I haven't figured out yet how to get that particular effect.
    Good job!
    Take care and have a great rest of the week.
    Lisa
