Pretty handsome fellow for a turtle. We used to see these guys everywhere when I was growing up... but it's been a long time. This one was found out in the road and we will be releasing him soon to a new safer environment. Thought I'd share with everyone. He seems very healthy and hopefully will live a long and happy life.
C&C welcome.

Mary: Glad you rescued him and a really fine capture. I like the ground level POV especially. >=))>

Mary:
Like this low POV take of this turtle. Wish the tip of the nose is a bit sharper - but image is interesting as it is.

Hey Mary, very cool comp, love the pose. Good detail on the head and like the shallow DOF.
