Comments on: "Photo Friday" (59)
What a fabulous shot, absolutely beautiful!
To me the main point is that grass – deliciously explosive!
I’m envious of this beautiful creature bathing on the sun.
Me too:)
I wonder what he’s waiting for??
The photo is really good! He stands out so well from the rest of the shot…even though everything is in focus…hmm…did that make sense? LOL
Thank you Shree:)
Great shot!!!!!!
Thanks!
Excellent composition.
Thanks very much.
What a stunning photograph, it’s very dramatic with the darkness and then the turtle looks like it has a spotlight on it’s tiny island.
Thank you!
Splendid image!
I, the last time I saw turtles when we were visiting the zoo.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Have a wonderful day, dear Elena! Big hugs, much love, Stefania! 🙂
Your welcome Stefania-thank you!
That swamp is a treasure trove of loveliness. Who knew? Obviously you did!
It is a lovely place:)
Beautiful shot Elena!
Thank you Uday!
Brilliant.
Thank you!
excellent shot………. I like that it took a split second to see the turtle.
Terry
Thanks Terry!
Wow! The light is just lovely!
I Got lucky Cindy! 🙂
I’ve seen a turtle just like that in the pond by my house! They really are pretty.
They really are:)
I have a couple photography posts lined up. I’ll add the turtle in one of them for you! =)
Thank you Simon!
I just posted my first photography marathon post. One of the pictures I shared was a turtle that looks a lot like the one you shared. If you have a chance to look at it, be sure to tell me if that’s the turtle you saw. =)
Wow! 🙂
Thanks Nuno:)
What a lovely little island to sun on, and it makes for a very nice composition.
You can really see the red and yellow on that little girl or guy.
Yes, those painted turtles are named appropriately:) Thanks Karen.
Lovely balance to this shot, Elena. It’s really reminiscent of your paintings too – so interesting when you can see someone’s through-line.
Thanks Richard! It’s interesting for me too-grants a little distance because I often can’t see the forest for the trees:)
Excellent use of light picking out the main subject against the dark background – very effective contrasts.
Thanks Louis!
Fabulous composition Elena! Like this very much.
Thank you!
Perfect !
Thanks Mike!
Excellent shot !! congrats…
Thank you Belen!
Very striking photo.
Almost floating in the middle of space —- and having a passenger !
Another kind of Space Odyssey.
Yes, I suppose it is Yoshi:) Thank you!
Striking photo – really interesting.
Thank you!
Spectacular lighting!
Just right place, right time:)
He looks like a happy little turtle 🙂
I believe he is Jess:)
Wow, the light really hits the center subject perfectly 🙂
Got lucky;) Thanks Allyson.
Perfect shot Elena! The colors and light with minimal objects so the turtle and grass are highlighted – love it!
Thanks Mary!
Beautiful capture with a beautiful light Elena!
Thanks very much!
Beautiful wisp of red on that turtles neck.
They are quite lovely-painted turtles.
Thanks John!
