Cool.  I really like the lighting here.  And, I always like turtles. 
The branch on the upper left is blown out, but it really doesn't
bother me here.

Nice one.

cheers,

Thanks, Frank!  That branch bothered me a bit, too,
but the photo lost something when I cropped it out, or
reduced the contrast enough to preserve its detail.

It took me more than a second to find her/him. But I had a pleasant time
looking ;-)
In other words, it's an interesting photo. I like the colours, the light,
and the lines.
