What am I seeing??


I'm not 100% sure what you're referring to, but I think I know.

We're NOT talking about the backlight elk picture, but the other one correct?

On that picture there was a small hill I was shooting over, and that's the extremely out of focus grass in the foreground. Then there's a small depression in the terrain (out of sight of course), and the elk is lying on the other side of the small valley.

That severly out of focus grass in the foreground is almost right in front of the camera, which is why it looks that way.

Is that what you were referring to?
