Yes I like to be able to see his size relative to the surroundings. I must admit if I had been there I would have picked him up to place him (if possible of course) on a more favourable background. The current background whilst natural does look a little busy.

This made me smile. Its been a while since I saw the images of these turtles.

I agree the backgrounds looks a little busy.

thanks for sharing
