Hi Paul,
Another great shot in your Buddies series :-) Superb capture with all three in the frame, beautiful detail and colours, perfect exposure. Great DOF too, really makes the three amigos stand out.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hi Paul,
That is an excellent shot! It is always interesting to see animals tolerate other creatures that feed off of them. They usually each get something out of rhe exchange. Super sharp detail. Awesome shot! :-)

hi Paul.
Hi had to look twice to your name and your new nick, I was quite confused.
You have a beautiful shot of this turtle here, with great POV, lovely lights and colours and 2 very good bonus on it :)
Congratulations for the shot, for you new nick and also for your new toy ;)
Hope you enjoy.

Absolutely brilliant, must be one of the best pictures on Trek Nature! It could be an illustration for a children's book - The Turtle, the Butterfly and the Bee!
Great, TFS, Ulla

Hi Paul,
What a strange cohabitation between species :) Very instructive notes about a phenomenon I didn't know. Unusual picture with great details, composition, DOF and POV. The timing you had for this shot it almost unbelievable. Well done and TFS,

Composición ideal Paul... excelente captura de estos 3 protagonistas que posaron para ti.
Adecuado encuadre con gran DOF y POV.
Lamentablemente no informas el EXIF de la imagen para tener una idea de las condiciones del disparo.
TFS... Ricardo

Ideal composition Paul... excellent capture of these 3 protagonist that posed for you.
Appropriate framing with great DOF and POV.
Regrettably you don't inform EXIF of the image to have an idea of the conditions of the shot.

Fantastic! Is he focusing on the fly to throw out his tongue like a frog to catch thy fly... ahh thats right they don't have tongues like that. Then he must be protecting his friend from that bee.....

I love this picture with brown to.... brown colors. It is just the butterfly that shows another color.

Maybe I would have cropped it a bit harder to expose that fantastic center of the image a bit more, because it's such unique moment you have captured. Maybe also increased the contrast/saturation just a little bit.

I also wish you wrote a bit about the computerwork on this photo and that you exposed the exif information.

I envy you this photograph!

Hello Paul
Well, you have done it again. This is a great capture with all three in focus. I like the monotones in the picture. Every shade of brown. Really nice shot.
