From The Ground Up, take 2

The project is hosted by JFargo and will be running for 10 consecutive days. Today is day 4 of the project.



Not the perfect shot but I like the effect... I saw the apple core by the road with an ant exploring it, put my camera on the ground and took a few random shots, this one being the most successful. I doubt you'll be able to see the ant, though, although it is there.

I like it too - the framing on this is wonderful!

MaR said...

It's a great effect!! well done! I don't see the ant but two eyes to the right of the apple and right in between the two long leaves pointing to the left, see them??

Shelly said...

Fun shot, love the fuzzed-out beautiful building in the background.

Ingrid said...

That's a nice picture ! But I am still looking for the ant, how is she dressed ?

I don't see the ant either. The whole picture comes together nicely.

Gattina just cracked me up!

I love this shot! It tells the story of not just this apple, once young and fresh and crisp, nowall used up and tossed by the side of the road without care -- but of man's relationship with nature.

And you thought you were just taking a photo.

Debbie said...

LOL at Gattina too! This is a great shot and I strained trying to see the hard at work ant :)

I've seen trash and thought of taking a shot of me taking it from the ground.....up to the trash can! My arms aren't long enough!

I keep seeing things I ~think~ might be the ant, when I blow up the picture big, but I don't think I'm actually seeing it. Very nice addition to the project! (I know I'm late with the comment, sorry! Just get behind sometimes.)

thanks to everybody stopping by.

the ant is in the top middle of the apple, between the two small blades of grass crossing :)

I love this one. Great composition. I really like how you kept the background slightly blurred compared to the sharp foreground.
