This fella was too cute with his duckweed hat. I had to posterize him, as he was not tack sharp. I changed him to photo art, because I could not bear to delete him. Hope you think he's cute, too.

Lucy, your title drew me in. I think this works very well as photo art.

Lucy,
Nice lush colors in this. So,... he's not sharp... so what? Once you've decided to posterize this, I wouldn't stop there. I would crop out a third of the top and about a quarter of the right. This would bring the turtle's eye into thirds and remove a lot of the visual confusion in the image. Then add a vignette and all of a sudden it says "A Turtle Looking At You"

He is very cute, and your rendition is successful--in a way it almost approaches an abstract (forgive me, Ansel) because one sees primarily the interplay of colors. I like the way the green on the turtle's head picks up the rest of the green.
