I love it!

Perfect.

Deduzco que la tortuga, gracias a la fotografía, pudo salvar la vida. Gracias le daría la tortuga por salvarla y gracias le doy yo por esta fotografía. Saludos

Wow.

Unbelievable.

Excellent shot.

he looks like he's running! turtles are great. :)

I'm rooting for the turtle. Fun shot.

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!

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