 I almost ran over this guy on the lawn mower! :-O

I slammed on the brake and decided to get my camera and take some pictures.
I took as many as I could before my chip filled up (16mb) and then finished yard work... Phlargh.

Sort of different from my usual picture, but hey- my mom liked it.

Could there exist a better natural frame to contain such natural beauty. Bumping to 7.

A very creative take on the challenge; I really like it! The detail is terrific, and lets us see the beautiful markings on the turtle. I'm curious to see a "head-on" version of this as well. 9

Nice concept, better than most I've seen so far. Not sure if I like the DOF or not, should his head have been more in focus? Either way, nice job.

Nice colors and clairty. I love the expression (if you can call it that) on the turtles face

Great shot, the right hand side corners seemed to have a tad too much shallow depth of field though. All the same it's an 8
