Toady I went to the park and was lucky and found the turtles bading in the sun! Two of them stayed to pose for me for a while as long as I didn't make that much noise... tey were really cute. And I didn't know they had such long claws/nails!?!


Thanks for looking and cc appreciated!

The crispness and dof of these are great!

These are really interesting! Like Toni said, the degree of crispness really adds well to the level of detail in the photo. These guys are a little creepy!

Not used to seeing turtles, so I really enjoy the break from all the snow here.

Ohh those are scary looking. Neat, but your right those nails, yikes! anyway, I think they really great photos. Nice and sharp and colorful. I also really like the church shots. Definitely vertical better. I would love to see that in bnw

full sun is a bear to shoot in. I think they look very crisp. It's hard to tell on the turtle if they are exposed right...LOL!

love the angles and colors on these. We have a turtle we picked up when we lived in VA, way smaller than this though

Those are great! I've never seen a turtle in the wild before. Good thing they're slow otherwise I'd be afraid.

Cool!

Mandy said...

Wow! I just love the turtle. I would be so excited to even get a shot like that my camera would probably fall right out of my hand.

Jen said...

Nice DOF and detail!

pat said...

Oh man!! Great shots here, particulary #2 with the neck extension.

Becky said...

I really like your DOF and composition, especially the second one with that neck extended. It looks like you had bright sun to contend with here. I would maybe try to brighten up the turtles a little bit in PP.

Nice composition and DOF.

Val said...

Wow! Love the DOF on the first one. So cool!

Those nails are scary! i would have been scared to tale pics of it. Seriously. Animals freak me out. Even turtles

Ginnie said...

Great capture. I especially like the second shot.
