[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My title identifies (I think) the turtle in the low side of the shot, at left: Red-Eared Slider is his common name. I'm not sure that the turtle with the carapace so colored belongs to the same species. If somebody has more infos, welcome.

Hello Diana,
It looks like this park pond has a collection of different Terrapins. Your shot clearly shows two species, two of them are, as you say, a Red-eared Slider. The other one is some asian species of terrapin. I think the composition would have been better with just the two without the partly shown terrapins at the bottom. Otherwise the sharpnes and POV are excellent.
TFS,

Ivan

Hello Diana,

They are cute..!
The action is well captured as they enjoy life in the pond...
Good details in the turtles, just a small pity two of the has been cut into!
