Peekaboo

Finally captured one without too much glare on the water :)

[Janet Shaffer]

Great capture - I love the face peeking out of the water.

[Janet Jackson]

Very nice photos

[marlboromaam]

Wow! Great shot! Just look at all that moss growing on its shell!

[Sharon Lee]

@janets Thanks Janet, seeing the turtles isn't all that rare, capturing one without all the water glare is.
@janjak Thank you Janet

[Sharon Lee]

@marlboromaam This is the first time I have been able to capture one clearly like this. Love his claws.

[bkb in the city]

What a great shot. Where did you take this at

[Sharon Lee]

@bkbinthecity My local lake, which provides me with a lot of different subjects :) I'm very lucky to have all this within walking distance.

[bkb in the city]

@sugarmuser That is great you are very lucky indeed

[Kerri]

What a cutie

[karenann]

This is a beautiful capture, Sharon. Love that nose sticking out and checking out the action. I wonder how old he is . . I've heard that they can live a long time.

[Dana]

I like how his face is poking out to say 'Hello'.

[Sharon Lee]

@kerristephens Thanks a bunch
@karenann Not sure how old they are, but there are quite a few of them in one part of the lake. It's Turtle Cove :)

[Sharon Lee]

@danacarruthers Thanks Dana, i usually have trouble with there being too much light on the water, today was perfect.

[David H.]

Great shot, how did you manage to eliminate the glare? Do you use a filter of some sort?

[Sharon Lee]

@jdr4690 Thanks Rob, I have a shot of a turtles eyes picking out of dark water, all you see re the eyes. :)
@trude this was after I got his mum or dad.... About 15 minutes after.

@bobbyj Thanks Bobbyj!
@peterdegraaff thanks a bunch
@hasselhotch no filter, I only have tha basic kit right now... The day was overcaste and he happened to be in the right spot :) I do see them every time I walk around the lake, I had to get one of these shots sooner or later.
