It's beauty of a capture. Fantastic colours and so unusual to see three turtles in such positions

Good focus, and use of light. I love the water ripples and reflections.

This is awesome, I love turtles, they love to come and get sun and they do not mind when a fellow turtle comes along on top, with is cool and the last one seems to get most of the sun lol,,what a great catch, seeing this I would forget the wood ducks lol

    My sincere thanks,I was surprised to see them out,my fortune that they were across from my blind,still disappointed no wood ducks this year!

Personaly I'd much rather see Reptiles than wood ducks so I'm really pleased with your dine looking photograph of these chelonian creatures who look to be assuming a classic Mating position in the obviously still warm water!

    The reason I had wood ducks on my pond last year was because I didn?t have a blind,so now that I have a blind... More than happy to photograph these three without them falling all over themselves to disappear into the water!

Great photograph of these three pond sliders. It looks like the size of the turtles are from small to large. Good focus and lighting. Sharp detail. Nicely composed. Well done. Good luck in the photo contest.

    You are welcome.

This looks as if the three turtles are going for a ride on some cluster of old reeds.
Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and the refinement of detail .The reflections are intriguing. The framing is adequate. The turtles are well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

    Thank you very much;yes,I believe they were some of the ones I disturbed when I was clearing duckweed earlier in the summer,at least it was in view of my blind!

Quite a good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and central composition offers a good look at what is going on out there? Are they playing or is something serious taking place? Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from kmoss


This is amazing! I love turtles though. Reminds me of a funny video with a voiceover of two turtles on a log. Good timing, nice colors reflected in the water. Good luck in the contest!
