Love this one!

absolutely fabulous by the simplicity of this shot and i've never seen such before
clap clap clap !!
that's creative

WONDERFUL IDEA !!! My favourite photo - such a simple idea brought to perfection. Even my little son plays with the spoon reflection every lunchtime but to do this with it would never come to my mind. Congratulations playful soul !

This is fantastic. Very creative and well done. Congrats.

haha great one.

miam!! makes me hungry!! that must be in france ;)

agreed with jaco, it has to be in France !
Gosh I miss this !!!
:-)
Very nice picture by the way ;-)

yep, this was taken at the hundred year old market in narbonne, france.
we picked up some horse meat among other interesting local delicacies.

ok, you just lost my vote right there !! ;-))

if you startle a tortoise by picking it up, it loses it's water reserves which is almost certainly fatal in dry spells like they're having this year.
so we were careful to look and not touch.
this was the second of two tortoises we saw during our mojave desert trip this summer.
he was set on crossing the road so we stood back and ensured that cars would see us and slow down.

thanks for the comments :)

What a perfect shot! I love the composition - the turtle is perfectly placed, the DOF, and the yellow line leading you into the shot. Excellent job!

Go little dude. Run for your live!!! This is absolutely perfect.

Perfect. Makes me scared for him.

I love this! thanks for the tortoise lesson, I did not know they lost their water reserve

One of my favorite shots of yours, Tracy.

Thank you Brandon and everyone else who took the time to comment.

This is a fantastic photo in every sense. Not only have you captured a wonderful image you've stirred quite a bit of controversy alont with it, which IMO, makes it even better. I agree with the courage statement; if we didn't have photographers who weren't afraid of taking a risk to photograph, we would be short many, many spectacular images!! Very well done!

First off, I love this photo. The composition, subject and details are wonderful. Second, I was going to say exactly what Mark said (probably not quite as well as he said it though) ! I also agree that the controversy and discussion add even more to this photo - thats what a photo is meant to do - evoke 1000 words. You scored very well on that point!

Beautiful work. I love the composition especially.

The blur works very well with the creepy darkness here. Nicely done.

cheers thanks, both of you

wow, this is a beautiful image, nice work!

This is just beautiful, and reminds me of my own father's images. He would be a proud man had he produced something as good as this.

Scary!

this is beautiful!

Very powerful. I think i like every aspect of this photo. :-)

Would be a great print

A great image, so very nice. Leaves, how does he do it?

Sorry, don't see the connection. Great shot though.

ditto

Maybe with the black dots? Fantastic image!

Great perspective. You even managed to get her expression.

Thanks :-)

Absolutely LOVE this shot . . . well done!
