post challenge--hey, thanks to all of the commentors for taking the time. It's obviously not obvious that this was taken from the vantage point of the ground. If taken from standing position, you'd see a ton more of her face, and her belly/haunches wouldn't be so exaggerated.

Beatiful shot. But, with the angle and perspective as such I can't say it's very much on topic. Will come back and have another look later. Currently sits as a 6 with me because of not being very much on topic.
Fabulous backlighting, wonderful animal portrait but I am not seeing the "from the ground up" part. I'd like to see a shot with perhaps more leg and a perspective up his body.
OMG, this is one of the coolest pictures I have ever seen!!! I definetely rate this by 10!!! The only thing I would change next time (if you will have a chance) is to flip the camera, so the legs are also in the picture. It might get a bigger "experience".
Btw, don't you have more of those? I would be very interested in seeing them. Thank you!
Great photo, but I am a little lost as to how this ties into the theme. I think the angle of the lighting is brilliant, as well as the positioning of the subject.
