Get-Pushed Challenge 500
My partner challenged me to do a worms eye view shot. I assume the challenge was intended to look at a subject from below as if a worm in the soil. But that got me to thinking. What about a worm's sense of sight? According to the site Earthworm Watch.org ( https://www.earthwormwatch.org/blogs/making-sense-earthworm-senses) earthworms do not possess eyes like humans and other complex animals; instead they have light receptors that detect when it is light or dark. Being able to detect light and dark may be beneficial to avoid predators and know when it is safe to search for food and to avoid drying out in sunlight. So for fun I thought I'd take a photo, from below, but with more of a sense of light and dark.

@delboy207 Thank you again for this interesting challenge. I hope that this isn't a cop out. It is from below and it does look up toward the sky. Probably an earthworm couldn't see as much detail as is shown in this photo.

very interesting photo and information. I think you nailed it with this one.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

You are so clever!

[Kathy]

@joemuli You certainly see well! And thank you to you as well.
@grammyn I appreciate the vote of confidence Katy. I don't know why it took so many years for me to be curious enough to ask the original question.
@olivetreeann I'm so glad you think so Ann. Probably sometimes too clever for my own good.🤣

[Kathy A]

This is certainly very interesting, I wonder if that's what a worm really sees

[haskar]

Great interpretation of the challenge. Very clever.

[Susan Wakely]

Interesting information. I will now look at worms differently.

[Delboy79]

Well done Kathy an interpretation I was not expecting

@kjarn Thanks Kathy. It is good question you pose.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
@wakelys Thanks Sue. I don't think it will make much difference to me as I tend to avoid them anyway.
@delboy207 Thank you. Hope you don't think I was too much of a smart alec.
