Sunbathing

I like the almost insouciant look on the turtle stretching his head and neck up to maximize exposure to the sun.

Canon 7D
100-400mm lens at 310mm
f6.3
1/1000
ISO 250

Raw photo, processed in Canon Digital Photo Professional and PS5

Thanks for looking comments and critique appreciated.

Very cool to get a photo of a turtle! I haven't gotten to photograph one yet

. Really nice image! It's too bad he chose to climb up on a tire instead of a natural object.

Hi Allen,

I agree with you about the look - and I particularly like those feet (not often you actually get such a good look at turtle feet in a photo). That reflection isn't half bad either!

My only wish is for slightly more space on the left...just so that the edge of the rock isn't quite touching the image frame...

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad
