Thanks for the positive votes and comments. I didn't have time to comment this when submitting, so I am just now filling it in.
This is a view looking "out" from the inside of a hollow crabapple tree in my backyard. It's actually amazing how hollow it is, yet the tree is alive and healthy.
I used my 420EX off camera, with a Stoffen omnibounce as a diffuser, as a fill flash to capture the details inside the tree while also properly exposing the outside world.

Makes the viewer check his footing. Am i rising or falling? Very impressive and so convincing. 8 on my first round. An outstanding entry that deserves my highest vote. Bumping to 10. Best of luck.
Brilliant! Great eye! I would have moved it a little more to the right, to get all of that mushroomy thing in the shot, especially since the far left doesn't add much worth cutting out the right. Excellent job though.
Very good capture and quite interesting. I wish there was more emphasis on bringing out the wood textures during editing as this would have offset the image being too dark. Either way, I like it. 6 Good luck!
IN this image, the frame is far more interesting than the main subject. I love the wood textures, and the curves, and knots, and colors, but it's never a good idea to have the frame overpower the object it is framing. <6>
I'm dizzy. ;-) This is a great concept and definitely fits the challenge - maybe too much so - meaning too much frame, not enough of the "framed". Very unique and interesting nonetheless.
