Like the idea and that you kept the reflection in the shot (I think turtles basking on logs like this are really cute). I would have used a bit more DOF to get the top of the turtles in focus. Also it's a bit overexposed looking on my screen.

Lacks focus, possibly due to motion blur. The colours tend to blend together as well and the shot is a touch "messy".

"Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club. Turtle, turtle, turtle!"

Love the reflection. Nice job!

You've seem to have lost the sharpness somewhere on the way...

Very cute find. The use of three turtles is good and you got a good reflection. However the focus is really missed and I see no artistic reason why it would be done purposfully.

Not quite sharp enough to score well, I fear. But, I like the image... and the reflection. (not voting)

Nicely composed---but--you have to concentrate on focus.
