 How cute is he? There were a whole bunch of turtles lined up on the other, longer side of this piece of driftwood, but apparently this guy wasn't feeling social.

Light was blah today, but I love the texture of the driftwood and the patterns on the turtle.

Had the 2x teleconverter on.

Turtles have such vibrant colors under the shells. Nice capture of the stretched neck.

Beautiful shot and processing. Also a good lesson in natural science. I had to look and look to figure out what it was on the wood -- the turtle's natural camouflage is amazing.

Awesome! It's so rare to find anything but snapping turtles around here anymore. Turtles are so photogenic!
