4/52 - Unexpected Perspective

I know, last week was listed as 2/32 but I went back and counted because this week simply didn't seem like it should be 3. I forgot to label week 2, and so this is week 4. This week's themes from Paint the Moon were Unexpected Perspective or Sparkle.

I thought to myself, "I live in a house of boys," and therefore thought Unexpected Perspective would be easier. Maybe it was, but that didn't make it easy in itself. After reading her tutorial on shooting from a different perspective I thought I would like to do a storyboard idea as well, but apparently my brain can only hold onto one new idea at a time.

I'm still not sure about the final result. I took pictures of my dog, cups on the counter, and various pictures of this shot from various angles. I ended up with this one, thinking it was one I wouldn't have taken, therefore unexpected. I was also able to get him to sit for the picture since his face wasn't visible. In looking at this picture now, I wonder if it would have been better if I had gotten him to look up and back at me? Though, I am afraid that would have made him look younger. If I had been able to take him out for his birthday pictures I would have taken one looking up at him. I think he would have liked that. With trees around him tall as well. Maybe next week.

Thank you Paint the Moon for your inspiration!
