Our pet turtle, Speedy, started posing for me this afternoon. I bounced my flash off the wall to the side of the tank. It took very little contrast adjustment to get it as it is.

My numbers haven't been great lately, but I think this is one of the best pictures of the turtle I've taken.

A very nice portrait, and I like seeing that much of the shell for context. A bit of a yellow color cast, or is it my imagination?

I would like just a little more DOF to get the tip of the nose and the corner of his mouth sharp. The eye is super.

6 - Nice clarity in that eye. Nice colors. The wood shavings(?) are slightly distracting. Like to have seen his/her leg not choppped else a little tighter and just a fraction more dof with the shell.

This seems a bit too yellow, but good focus and composition.

very intense eyes.
