First of all, let me say that after ordering Adobe Dreamweaver for Dummies, and registering a domain name as well as having someone host my site that I'm finally getting a web site going! It's not easy (at least for me), but if you'd like to check it out, click here.
Ok, on to the good stuff....point of view (hereafter I'll shorten this term to "POV") is literally what you're seeing, and from what angle. You may not realize it, but all of your life, you've seen things from a certain POV, whether you're sitting or standing or laying down. Why is this important, you may ask? As a photographer, images of animals or children especially look unflattering or boring if taken from a standing position. Get on your knees, or better yet, lay down! You'll find that this POV creates a much more dynamic (say interesting) image. It can also help the subject to interact in a way that wouldn't have been possible if you were standing.
Even if you're trying to capture a landscape, often a different POV can make all the difference!
