Take the camera down low...

...is something I think I'll try to do more, the latest bird photos I've taken from nearer ground level I feel are more interesting than taking the picture standing up. What do you think?

Here's a Common Goldeneye:

nice, but have a no to the lower angle although i think yes it would be nice to have some taken lower as in your shot it shows less of the bird , it would be intresting to see a shot from low down and then from stood up ( if one would stay still long enough )
just my thoughts.

Beautiful shot Anders. I really like the perspective you get by shooting from ground level in this shot. If you have the opportunity it's usually best to try shooting from different height levels. Ground shots are often interesting (and I do a lot of these) since they give you unusual perspective but often they don't give you the best view of the bird it self. This shot is very good.

It is a neat perspective, although the shot seems a little dark.

I like the perspective and its a beautiful shot but like Dennis I find the shot to be a bit dark.

yes I vote for the lower shot, getting down to the ducks level makes a very interesting perspective.

I think this is a wonderful shot... not too dark for me, but it is a little soft. VERY cool image though!

Excellent capture Anders and that perspective is always nice when they are in the water.

Eye level shots are the best kind IMO. Much more interesting and intimate feel to photos this way...and a perfect way to separate bird from background. I like the darkness in this shot, very good mood to it. Keep up the excellent work...
