This is an escapaee from the movie, "The Nightmare before Christmas" and a very eerie effective photo. The only thing I would suggest would be to make the red edge of the frame the same as the color of the turtle. There is no reference to the red in the photo.

Are there any others like this?

I give up.
Did you see the WS I sent via e-mail? The one of the Trickydoctorous?
This one I actually sharpened by FOUR clicks in PhotoFiltre. You can see what he last ate! The posted original is ... muggy.
Au contraire with the red in the frame. For me it adds. Yah boo sux!
Pp elimination worked out well and the final composition is ... fine, save that I would have cropped the top closer and left more space at the bottom (for him to move into were he actually swimming).
Here's an idea. Do us both a favour and see for yourself. If you go to Workshops, you will find a very recent WS on 'Lucas'. That's the kind of difference I'm talking about.
