 I've seen these turtles stacked several high but today this was the best I could manage for my Yertle picture. I think it still gets the idea across, just not as well as a bigger stack.

Cool turtles. Weird texture in the photo. Sharpening process? Nice image though.

Wish you could see more face of the turtles, but the colors are nice. odd angle.
