    One turtle for Igancio :) ... got lots of them !!!

    This one was trying to climb up on his log for sunning but it was not all that easy :D They are persistent and do make it !!! Tough light conditions, harsh sun and they are reflective specially when wet

    Comments welcome and much appreciated

    I can feel the tension in this image, the turtle is trying so hard that I want to reach in to the computer and help it out. You can see the nails clawing at the wood. Excellent. What more do you want in a wildlife photograph but to feel the atmosphere which presented itself at the time of capture.

    Nice feel of the environment here. These ungainly creatures need lot of effort to move up or go over a stone etc. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    Al,

    Very nice, my only nit would be too much "pond weed" obscuring the eye a little, but there is nothing you can do about that. I wish we had something as colourful in SA, most of our terrapins (or those I have seen) are relatively dull.

    Ken Maybe that is the problem, the turtle could not see its way out :D ... sometimes they come out and all you can see is the duck weed !!! ... the one posted a little below this one had lots of red .. handsome devil !!!
