    Ha! Neat shot!! Might work a little better if there was a tad more space on the right side and if the colors were adjusted a little away from earth tones, but great timing on this one.

    Re: snake necked turtle

    i find the reflection quite distracting... maybe the combination of the reflection and the bright upper left corner. its not as bad as when i looked at it this morning so it may grow on me. but thats some great detail on the face.

    Replaced original with edit:

    used noise reduction on large OOF areas, applied some burn to large OOF light colored areas and corners, increased saturation in bokeh, reclaimed highlights in turtle with clone stamp and layer at 45% opacity.

    I didn't see the original, but I really like the version posted above. Great focus on the nose and eyes.
