    Dear All

    Made this in Kaziranga with D300 , 200-400 at 200mm , Laying down on stomach ( of course breaching laws ) , ISO 400 at F7.1
    These are lovely turtles you can see and the best part is that they are away from the pet trade as for now.
    All C & C are most welcome

    Hey Harshad, the Nikon is really making these images sing.

    Personally I feel it's a little too big in the frame, would like to have seen the right leg in too, [I]as you view it[,/I] with a hint more space top & to the RHS. Like the jaunty angle and 'mush' bottom LH corner, as it really suits it IMHO. Light looks quite bright though.

    agree with Steve on the RHS foot (the turtle's left), would have loved to see it in the frame too

    I also find the point of view great! I might be inclined to darken the shell though.

    Harshad,

    For me this is a little close, but at least I now know what is called

    Harshad,

    This is just not working for me. The angle that the turtle is at is awkward, it is too close and cutting the feet and I do not like the OOF FG on the left and center. Harsh light is also not helping here.

    Hi Harshad I like the POV and your approach to the image, brings us right into the Turtles world. I might even consider a slice off the top for a more intimate image. TFS.
