Date: Jul 3, 2007
Aperture: f10
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/320

Date Uploaded: Jul 9, 2007

 Took this shot at Peck's Wildwood in Minoqua Wisconsin. Nice little zoo/animal shelter. They let certain animals roam around. Right when you walk in you are attacked by goats. But there were these two giant turtles just sitting there.

I mostly just did levels, and worked areas with the brush to add or remove the effect of the levels layer. USM and resize.
