I love this shot. Very unusual. Great rainbow effect. I hope you didn't get the camera wet.

The uncropped scene was in fact better, but I cropped it to bring out more detail in the small photo size that was are allowed.

I really think there are enough shadows here to count in this challenge! Thanks for your vote anyway.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you no less than a 7.

My first thought is that the crop you have chosen is perfect for this photograph. The side lighting is probably what makes this shot because it really defines the foot prints in the sand, and gives three dimensions to the turtle. I love the contrast between the sharp details of the sand in the foreground against the out of focus sand in the background. Zero complaints. Great shot and great finish.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.
