Red Eared Slider

[wax32]

Did a photo-manipulation of a slider I photographed on a recent golf outing.

I'd post the actual photograph, but it was pretty bad, I had to zoom all the way in with my little point and shoot and then had to crop the image just to see the turtle. So, it is pretty out of focus. I like the finished product anyway.

Looks kind of Monet!

Or Manet, one of those guys.

I like the reflected image.

Thanks! It was a really nice scene.

Here is the real life shot I started with:

As you can see, the shot itself is pretty boring. On the left you can see a circle of ripples... that's where two smaller sliders were swimming but went under as I approached.

Or Manet, one of those guys.

No, you would have had to have your wife undress and lie down cradle him on her naked belly for that. Probably wouldn't have gone over well with either one of them.

Hehe, Manet nature scenes for a while too. When he did, it was hard to tell the difference between the two of them.
