    We found this Hinged Terrapin sunbathing on the shore of Lake Kariba, unfortunately he was covered in sand, but the head was clear.

    Absolutely stunning light and colors, esp in BG. The clean head and legs make this work. If you ever print this, I think I would consider removing the tiny green leaf above the neck b/c I find my eye being drawn there. Good job HH from a boat and it's awfully nice to see something different!

    Marina and Rachel,

    Thanks for your comments and suggestions much appreciated, as to the lighter leaf it does not bother me to much so I thought I would "leaf" it in

    Head's nice and sharp and I like the look of the sand covered shell. Also like the undulating line of green spots in the BG.
