Salut Mario,
Très belle photo avec une belle composition avec une réflection de la tortue dans l'eau. Très belles couleurs misent en évidence avec le flash.

Hi Mario,

Now, this is unusual! Beautiful turtle captured perfectly. Love the red on the shell and the excellent details of the shell, neck, face and feet. He looks very proud of himself. The reflection is wonderful - not sure I've seen a turtle reflected in water before.

Hi Mario!

Wonderful expo keeping the details of the dark shield, head and legs while still not over exposing the log! I see you applied flashlight to achieve that but no bad sign of it.
Wonderful details and a nice pose showing neck patterns.
Such a nice animal is hard to find, TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

Hi Mario,

A turtle! This is new. I suspect it is a red-eared slider though I have not seen one with such nice red markings on the shell. Great sharpness and detail...

Hello Mario,
Very nice photo of this Turtle. Very sharp details and clear colours. Excellent POV.
Kind regards,

Salut Mario,
Belle prise de cette vedette, elle donne cet air là avec sa tête levée. Malgré le soleil direct, on distingue bien les détails. La composition met bien en avant la réflexion.
Merci

Hi Mario,

Great shot of that turtle! I love the pose, with it craning its neck. The details you've captured are terrific. I particularly like the red spots around the shell. It's a nice touch to show the reflection also. Well done!

Hello Mario,
I missed this fine capture of an Eastern Painted Turtle taken with fine sharpness an from a great POV on a log: the reflection is a nice plus!
TFS this beauty,
Ivan

Hello Mario!
Very colourful species, but in my opinion not a turle but terrapin, as it is fresh water species :) Small difference but I believe rather important, you can find a little more details here :)
I like a lot water reflection too :)
Greetings,
Radomir

Bonsoir Mario,

Cette tortue sur le l'arbre est impressionnante. Elle reçoit un bon éclairage ce qui fait ressortir les couleurs et leur donne un bonn contraste. Le sujet est bien cadré. Les réflexions dans l'eau sont des atouts à la composition. Bonne soirée.
