Great shot. You got it with its flippers at a good angle.

Thanks for the comments.

I took more than 250 pics on this trip. This was the only one I took that I really liked. I had few other keepers but still need practice on my composition, settings and timing.

You can see the little claw thorn thingie on its right flipper quite clearly. That's nice. Anyone recall the name of this feature? All our turtle biologists left the university years ago.

As far as composition goes, you might want to thing about cropping....can really get alot out of a picture that way sometimes
