so of course I googled the GoPro you used .. :)
this image has just become my fav in the challenge .. it was great before I realized how it was taken .. but for me understanding makes it so much better ..
also .. it is unique .. and a brilliant almost abstract creation .. :)

"HERO8 is rugged and waterproof right out of the box, but this tough housing handles anything you can throw at it. It protects from dirt and flying debris during intense action—plus, it's waterproof down to 196ft (60m) and perfect for deep-water diving."

thankyou Girish for clearing that up .. :)
perfect building for the challenge and great point of view too ..
I got the Samsung S21 ultra 5g a few weeks back .. I'm loving it ..
I was happy with my S9+ except for the camera .. the upgrade to the S21 was entirely for the camera .. !! ..

such a cool photo ..
often taking a photo of a bird in a tree from below .. it can look like its taken almost straight on ..
but knowing you i'd say you have totally satisfied the challenge requirements .... not just the looking upward bit but the angled .. like, look at that wing ... angled for sure .
great to see this on the front page and congratulations on the fourth place . :)
