It's nice to see animals that you are familiar with. I have 2 red-eared slider pets and they are still so small compared to these giants I found at the National Zoo (Smithsonian National Zoological park.) I was amazed that it's free to enter there! Besides the war on terror, at least there are other good things that the people can see where their taxes are going, and I enjoyed it as a visitor. I didn't have to pay a dime! I'm happy! :)

Pp work:
1. duplicate layer
2. darken the top layer
3. select line border and fill in w/ white color
4. select inside of border and erase to reveal the lighter layer underneath
5. on the top and darkened layer, select the grass on and outside the border and erase it.
6. resize

Quote of the Day:
In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular . . . sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.

You simply love turtles. In as much as i have seen your posts, there were lots of turtle subjects. Sharp capture of these animals and its habitat. The dynamic framing is excellent. tfs
