 I took this picture in the Duval mines in Arizona. You can see many faces in the rock face but the face and fin shape of the turtle stood out.

Used my Tamron 75-300 lens

The set of faces I believe you are showing should be more of the shot. I think there is too much distraction in all the 'open' space. I wouldn't have cropped in so tight that I killed the shot, I just think you left too much of the other rocks in the photo

Nice find. Maybe a tighter shot would have been better.

I might have cropped more to the left if the turtle face is the one I think it is. Crisp, clean, and well done otherwise.

Seems a bit over-exposed. It also may help if it was not taken in the middle of the day.
