Nice image - Like the POV - This does scream suburbia which i think a lot of the images in this challenge do not. Like the PP too. Very nice.

I did come back to check :-) Still completely adorable and even more enjoyable with the story behind it! Sounds like you had to work very hard with the neighborhood fauna to get a decent shot.

I like HDR, even though my wife hates it. :) Here, however, it just feels like an effort to save a photo with no real subject. I'm giving you a 8, just because I like it, but we need a "subject" here.

Is that a baby turtle? Or tortoise, maybe. What beautifully expressive eyes. I'm going to be so disappointed if that's not real! Not sure how he fits into the fairy tale (the version I read just had Tom sleeping in a snail shell) but he's adorable.

Don't think I've ever seen two such critters together. Very, very cool.
