I don't mind that the body of the Turtle is mainly centered in the frame
but it would add some dynamic tension, (yet still leave him mostly
centered), while putting the brightest object in the frame, his head
further off the horizontal center line of the photo. You don't have to
agree, but that's what I would do.

It's a nice specimen recording photo, but if you'd crop a maybe 10%
off the bottom, it would be more than that, IMHO.

Except for resizing, this shot is unedited. Any comments are welcome.
The bottom, you say? Hmm... I'm more perturbed by the intrusion of
green leaves at the top of the frame. My first thought would be to
crop all sides by an equal percentage, to eliminate the green leaves.
Do you find it distracting that the subject is centered in the frame?
Maybe that's why you want to only crop the bottom?
take care,
Glen
