For some reason this scene just amused me, but just because I was
amused doesn't make it good. So for your viewing pleasure, and I use
that phrase loosely, I prepared the image three different ways,
1. More or less straight, a bit of processing to open up the dynamic
range and increase contrast, with just a bit of sharpening.

I like this one best -- but, I am sort of partial to B&W in general. At
least when done by others.
2. Starting from there I did a B&W rendering with B&W Plus using the
Green filter. (since the turtle was green I think maybe I should have
gone with yellow...)

Of the color shots, I like this one.
3 finally I decided to see what the free K25 action thought it would
look like if I'd shot it with Kodachrome 25.

If that's supposed to be Kodachrome, I think I'm glad it was phased out
before I got my K1000!
Hum, it seems to think that I would have blown the highlights, and
even the greens are a bit garish. Does this look like a Kodachrome
rendering to you? Well I guess you get what you pay for.
