Beautiful capture of the turtle. The lighting in the upper left is a little distracting, but the detail and color on the turtle make up for it. Great shot.

Comment by SJCarter:
Very cool & dramatic shot. I agree with the other commenters that this could have scored quite well (after straightening the horizon). You want to watch for leftover remnants of burning the sky in your trees though. Keep up the good work! :-)

nope that's straight up wrong, check out heida's entries. I like the drama in the shot, but it needs to be straight.

Great shot even better when level. Would have averaged well above what you're getting. Never mind.

Very nice pic! Definitely above what you're scoring.
Since you asked for opinions, I'd level the horizon, and crop tighter on the left.

What can I say Ken, I guess that what happens when you have too many beers before entering a challenge!! I appreciate your comment so much.

Sam, Sam, Sam. What were you thinking? This photo would definitely have done better in the Wide Angle challenge than the one you submitted (I remembered it when you posted it in the forum). In fact a lot better. It's not altogether compelling - I mean no specific subject in the shot, but has good elements in it and nice color, lighting and composition.

Good luck - keep on trying. :)
