Comment from Linda Wetzel
I like the almost bronze patina the browns give the skin and shell of this tortoise. You have really captured the variety of sizes of his scales. The expression on his face makes him look very tired.

THANK YOU FOR THIS LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT...IT WORKED WELL.
Crispy, clean, fun, clear, detailed and so wonderful in color. Great close up to see that leather skin. Amazing faces they have. I love this one! Maybe more light on those eyes, maybe, what ya think? Or on that tip of nose. Thanks my friend for another beauty to view!

A very nice shot. The perspective is great and the detail in his shell and scaly arms is fantastic. I like the colors and the catchlight in the eye.

Very nice closeup shot of this turtles. Strong focus and great detail in the image. The colors work well and the shadows/shading help to shape the subject. Well seen and well shot.
