Comment by roz:
far out shot ... and wot an unusual sight ... in the first second or so of viewing i thought it was two aligators and then i realised it was turtles as well ... (didnt read title obviously!!) .. love the reflection of the aligator under him and the sort of ripples in the water .... excellent photograph and it should come up really well with processing ...

love your composition.. love the beautiful colours with that splash of green ... the contrasting texture and colour of the leaves against the soft red petals and yellow centre is excellent ..

Beautiful photo with wonderful color and texture. Focus is good, and the lighting is perfect. His beak is almost translucent.

Owww! Durn bee. Pretty good composition, good light. My only nit would be that I'm more drawn to the leaf fragments, but I think that's because I prefer their texture.

Heh! I guess the turtles have learned the gator won't munch on 'em, and the gator has learned turtles are a pain to try to eat. Very cool - and good choice of exposure, I think.

Excellent capture, and good use of camera functionality to get what you wanted. The fence is troubling for my eye, as I catch it as a pattern across the chest that moves to the right and distracts me a bit (not sure what processing can be done on that). And yes, it's best not to get the wildlife mad at you!

I like the textures and the feel of this; I wonder if cropping a little from the left, so the head is closer to that side, might add something (could also really mess it up, too!).

Nice close up. Great use of dof/bokeh. I really have the sense he's looking right into the camera at me. Did you try portrait orientation also? I think seeing more of his face would add a lot.
