Fantastic shot! Great use of space in the frame! (I don't know how else to say it other than I like how the turtle is on one side and background is on the other 3/4 of the frame, sure there is a tecnical term for it!) LOL

@rbsgrl- Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you like it so much- and do you mean the Rule of Thirds? XD

I don't know if that's what I mean! I am not up on photography terms, guess I should do some research. Just started photographing for more than "because" in November, was just taking pictures of friends at gatherings, home projects and flowers in my yard.

@rsbgrl- Hahaha, the Rule of Thirds is to not center a subject, to instead place it a third of the way into a frame. Something about aesthetics. XD I only learned it once I started taking photography courses. And cool that you're getting into it! ^^ Photography is something to love.

Wonderful shot, well done

@friiwiski- Thank you so much! ^^
