That's what it looks like he is saying to me anyway. :lol:

That's quite a low perspective! Very sharp image, I love the dimension provided by light and shadows. The caption is great, too! :)

LOL! I'm sure no one will ask you to get any lower than this. Great detail from the side lighting.

I love the three dimensional aspect the slime adds.

Great shot!

George,
Great angle, and great pic. From the looks of it you must have been half-buried in the mud to get such a good angle.

Beautiful light and pose. Very desirable stuff. I might put the bird just a hair more to the right in the frame.
