Side Necked Turtle ©
...Taken whilst in Brazil last year. The hotel I was staying in had a breeding programme going on within the grounds which meant they were really relaxed when people were around. This one just broke the water surfce to check me out and the white building in the BG helping make a nice reflection.. Something different to add to my growing herpetofauna library..

Have a good day folks and thanks for comments on previous post. Always very useful to get sound advice and information.

Very different indeed and a very strong image thanks to the crystal clear reflection and the contrast between subject and surroundings. Excellent.
