Excellent choice of subject! I love taking shots from low angles!
An older picture (therefore not qualifiying for the contest):
A long way to go ...
A question: Are there any restrictions how close you mean with "close to the ground"? (The german equivalent to "worms-eye view" would be "Dackelperspektive", which means literally "from the perspective of a Dachshund"). So would something as low as this shot be low enough?
