Todd, I recall from your previous post that the turtle is only about 1". The tree trunk or log somewhat provides a sense of scale (although not to a precise degree). I like the interesting abstract markings on the tree trunk/log, but I find the little turtle sort of lost in the scene.

This is cool. I almost thought it was a sea turtle on the beach.

Thanks for the comment Scott, I was kind of wondering if the bg was too much. I thought it was interesting but wasn't sure if I should crop some out or not. It will be an easy fix, Thanks again.

I like the abstract nature of this with attention drawn to the turtle by it's color. I wish there was a larger version, because in this one, the turtle's back feels slightly soft and a larger version might prove that wrong. I think that you could emphasize the abstract by cropping from the top to just above the "eyes", the branch scars about 3/4 up the frame.
