| You were ripped off! 60 votes of 4 & under?!!! Sheesh! Although I can't say that I LOVE the fingers in the composition, without them I would not realize just how tiny he is. You have a great focus on your subject - your colors are nice - along with a pleasant DOF - it just seems that these factors alone should have eeked you out a bit better of a score! From one of your seventeen 7's. |

Wow, this is one of the most under rated photos I've seen so far. The composition is excellent. The turtle is following the rule of thirds like he/she was trained to be there. The hand helps scale this picture well and the fingers also make some nice lines through the shot. Creamy bokeh. The only small adjustment I might suggest would be turning the turtle (& camera) slightly counter clockwise to lighten the shadows of the neck/shoulder area. If people can't see patterns in a turtle then they might need new lenses. :P
I love this shot and my wife REALLY REALLY loves this shot (the turtle is SO cute). Thanks for entering it.

| Aside from the distraction of the ring, this is a perfect shot! Love the colors and composition. |

| Thid is a very great subject, probably because i love turtles. But I like how you had the background as green, but still focusing on the turtle's patterns |

| The pink of the skin offsets the green of the turtle nicely. It is easy to see the patterns on the animal. My question is sort of nit-picky, were there other ways to show this animal? The fingers all splayed out are sort of a secondary subject and they don't really fit (other than to show the size of the animal). It sort of minimizes the effect of the natural patterns on the turtle. |

| Maybe having the turtle on something that wasnt so large, or if it was shot at a different angle that could help kepp the focus on the turtle |
