Hello Kedar
I enjoy your use of the narrow DOF to highlight the turtle and ant lens - pulls the image together for me.

Really neat shot that shows off the fragility of this animal. I love the black sand and how it mimics the waves that this guy will soon be embracing. The other photographer is also a nice touch as it adds scale

Absolutely wonderful capture, really makes a significant connection between man and nature. Just how much we depend upon, and are intrigued with the small critters of this world!
