I took this one down in Panama City Beach in the panhandle of Florida earlier this year. Just past all the bars and souvenir shops of the “Redneck Riviera” is Saint Andrews State Park, an oasis of saw palmetto and long leaf pine, the perfect habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. I saw lots of animals, but for this shot, I decided to focus on the characteristic landscape and used my fisheye lens to get up close and personal with the palmetto.

We could not enjoy the wonderful creatures that roam our globe were it not for their habitat that provides the vessel in which they romp and make their living. While we get to see the palmetto fronds closely, I find my gaze drawn to the backdrop of trees with their vertical, yet curvaceous exaggeration also brought to us by the fisheye lens. Nicely done!

Excellent observation, thanks
Good idea to use fish eye lense. I like how the photo looks.
Thanks Donna.

Good use of the fish eye. You can do funky things with it.
No doubt Rachel. Thanks.
