Nice POV! I use my picture stick (monopod) and hold the camera upside down on top of my boot or shoe, and shoot with the self timer to get this kind of thing. I am older now, and it is easier for me to shoot several that way than just one by getting down on the ground to carefully compose a shot. Down is easy , back up, not so easy LOL. The high iso adds a softness that I like to this scene.

Lucky you! You did a good job of shooting from that angle, especially since you didn't get on the ground!

Winter Berries

Comment by bassbone:
excellent control of DOF here - the smooth background so nicely offsets the sharpness of the twig with the berries

Great DOF really makes this little chap stand out, as well as the colour.
