Found some interesting ideas from Digital Photo school. Here's a quote from the beginning of the subject for your reading pleasure...lots more on angles ,is available there...
"Angles are everything in photography. They are also the reason photography is so fun. What other hobby gives you the chance to see things from some of the most bizarre angles out there? Photography helps us step outside of the human perspective, and when we do this, the creative possibilities are innumerable. Here are a few ways you can adjust your perspective and take your photography to beautiful and unknown places.
Unusual angles are everywhere. The only problem is that most of us are afraid to try them. We are all a shy bunch, and when we are taking photos, we are usually out in public. You do not have to own an expensive digital SLR to play with unusual angles. You just need the willingness to get in a little closer, a little lower, a little more underneath, and a little more above. You might look a little odd while you are doing it, but that is the territory that comes with being a photographer. The more you roll around on the ground in plain view, the more fun it becomes!
Those of you who are not yet willing to look the part can try out a few small variations. Instead of taking family portraits at eye level, try getting down one knee instead. You can also try this. The next time your toddler starts making a mess, get down to her level and start taking pictures. You will be in the comfort of your own home, and you will see the difference it makes. This should be enough to convince you to take your newfound love of bizarre angles to the streets".
Here are a couple that I found-looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Thanks.
No I wasn't - I was sitting on rocks behind a 3' (~1m) dam wall.
The lens (@ 400mm) was probably less than 12" (~300mm) above the water.
