I’ve sat on this image for quite a while, not sure whether to post it or not. I usually like to crop closer in to my subject(s) but in this case, I decided to focus on the rugged terrain and the challenging conditions these painted turtles face at our local reserve. I assume they made it safely across but I had to be somewhere that afternoon so I couldn’t wait around to find out😊.

A lovely, summery photo. I expect they are now safely down in the mud for the winter.

You needed this to be uncropped to get the action. Great picture! It tells a story.

I like the wide shot, I see a story here in so many ways! I immediately saw Mama telling her little one to get back here! 😉
I hope they did make it across. 🙂

Great caption, Belinda! I like that you’ve included the whole scene and conveyed the “greenness” of the location.

I like tightly cropped images, but these subjects do present a challenge. Nicely captured.
Have you tried cropping to 16:9 aspect ratio with the turtles on the bottom third line? Then lighten and slightly desaturate the image?

Thank you. I tried this a variety of ways. A challenging image indeed. Will have to give it another go next summer if I can get these characters to cooperate.
