Interesting, Needs just a little more contrast to make the turtles stand out. Alternatively, I'd like to see a bit of shoreline to add scale, but that might not be possible.

Nice shot! Too bad it isn't a bit bigger so it would be easier to see.

That's cool... I like the detail in the water, lighting's good, and just what I think is a lucky chance at finding so many turles on the log

What a find! Cool shot.

That must be an unusual image I like turtles Its a shame you couldnt get a closer image with a bit more focus but I like this

Now how did you convince them to all line for you. Nice shot.

A nice photo, I really wish it were larger.

Shades of Dr. Seuss and Yertle the Turtle. Very cute and nicely exposed and composed. Possibly focusing tighter on about half the turtles might have provided better detail on what an individual turtle looks like.

What a lineup! I wish the photo were bigger tho.

Very cute picture of a "flock" of turtles. Not sure that's the correct term for a gathering of turtles but it works for me! Looks a bit oversharpened.

Is that anything like a "Flock of Seagulls"? Nice capture.

cute picture

Weird, but it looks like you have some chromatic abberation at the near end of the log. (The magenta halo...) It typically happens when there is a highly varied contrast in the lights and darks on my camera. This doesn't seem to be a situation that would merit the C.A. result. But to counter that effect in P.S. you can turn down the magenta tones.

I give a 6 for a good capture. It can use some color and a different point of view.

Great shot!

What a find...I wish a better zoom could have been taken but this shot makes me laugh regardless...

It's a herd of turtles actually. Wait till they start stampeding!
05/10/2004 02:26:01 PM
Wouldn't it be fun if all those turtles started to spin the log - that would be something to see! Cool shot.

great shot...

This is hilarious. I love it

Nice, different, but small. I think this picture would be so much better if you took advantage of the maximum size for submission because there is just so much details that your reader could have enjoyed more if it was bigger. But the diagonal arrangement and the beautiful ripples of the water as well as the earthy colors make this a very attractive photograph.
