[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A typical giant land turtle from Galapagos. Not the famous Lonesome George, who is so old, so he has met Darwin (!), but a close relative to George.

Hola Rosa,
ya se ve que no es el viejo Jorge, pero son fabulosas todas las tortugas de las Galápagos. Gracias por compartir el documento.
Saludos

Ciao Monica,
ho visto la tua bella galleria di immagini di paesaggi e di fotografie naturalistiche dei tanti Paesi che hai visitato, come questa splendida tartaruga catturato con ottimi definizione e POV frontale, molto belli i colori e i riflessi di luce sul carapace.
TFS.

Hi Monica,
A fine capture of this lovely turtle fe with excellent details, wonderful natural surrond and delightful composition.
TFS and cheers,
Bayram

Dear Monica,
You could have improved the image, if you had zoomed out a bit i.e. give more space around the animal, particularly on top...

For people, who have never seen an image of the giant tortoise, it is difficult to envisage from your photo the animal's size.

Concerning your notes - it would have been interesting to read, why they are now so rare i.e. the sailing ships took them on the ship as "fresh meat"

Kind regards
Ingrid
