[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This little tortoise is approximately the size of a golf ball. I used a small aperture as I wanted quite a deep depth of field because the shell is round on top.

One hardly finds any live tortoises in the wild anymore. When I was young one would often see them in the veld and everybody had a tame one. These days they are rare due to the reduction of their habitat, the increase of roads where they get run over. The usual story of mankind encroaching.

Hello Irmgard,
I love this! Well spotted! It is really sharp and detailed. Lovely tones of colour.
Kind regards, Bev :-)
Thank you for your warm comments about my port folio. :-)

Symmetry and patterns are what makes this great! I love this piece because it is different....

What a wonderful perspective!
Very interesting.

Dear Irmgard!
From time to time someone from TN members is lucky and present a very artistic picture taken thanks to the nature artism :) And this is one of such pictures! Of course bravo for the idea! Photo is simple but very good! I like a lot this natural composition :) Even id the DOF would be a little better to keep all picture in the focus, it is still a very artistic and unusual presentation.
TFS and have a lot of such nice ideas! ;>
Greetings from Lodz,
