Nice one Jon. A memorable shot indeed. Have you tried to clone your tripod out, just for fun?
Congrats on the red. |

yeah but to use a longer lens and get the same angle would mean he would have to climb way up into one of those trees.

Excellent shot. I'd try it again with a monopod sticked into the ground, maybe also stick some leaves on it. Or use a longer lens and hide the camera behind a tree :) |

Or maybe just clone out the tripod, screw the challenge and enjoy a wonderful picture that you can frame. This is cool. |

congratulations. i liked the reflections on the reflective ball - it's amazing.
i guess it cant really be helped to avoid getting the camera+tripod in the photo as well, but i'd just like to say that, it would have been even better if they weren't.
good job on such a stunning image. |

Great shot! I like the idea.
I see your tripod, Maybe you could get the Military Tripod Camouflage Kit, comes with glue and leaves. I did an indoor mirrored ball photo and hid the tripod in a darkened room. You could also hide the tripod behind a mirror. |

Front page possibilities here. I hate that I'm torn out of the beauty by the camera on the tripod in the reflection, but I guess some things are just not do-able in basic editing (or advanced for that matter). Careful cloning work for outside of DPC, however, would really cement this as a gorgeous reflective take on nature.
A little more work on that hotspot would help too ;) |

| i love it. I'm predicting ribbon!!!! I think the 360 degree reflection is fantastic, with the fallen leaves all around. Great color, and balance. My only concern is the shadow in the front, but I didn't even notice it until I looked at it a 4th of 5th time. Great shot. |
