I was riding my bike one day last month next to a lake in Carol Stream when I found this guy sitting smack dab in the middle of the bike path. I thought hed make a great photo, so I got down on my hands and knees to take a few shots. You could say I got a frogs-eye perspective! He didnt move the whole time, and Im very proud of how the picture turned out.
