Cool little turtle

Wish I had a good underwater setup. As it is, I'm happy with the way this turned out with my little Olympus.

Nice. Wish I was there right now!

Good capture and I love Key Largo. It was the first place I visited in Florida ad it led to em moving down here.

Nice shot Jen.. How far under was the turtle when you shot it.

Neat shot Jen. Curious if you tried applying any creative filters or boosting contrast on this image? Might help give ti some "pop" and eliminate some of the color cast/haze..

"AutoLevels" in Photoshop is your friend with underwater stuff..:D

This was done with PS5. Resized also to upload properly. No additional PP; I thought it looked pretty natural.

Yeah....when it works and doesn't put your fish on Mars or the banks of the Jupiter river.

About 20 feet down. I wasn't diving, was holding my breath plus I had on a wetsuit so it wasn't easy to get him in frame and take a steady shot. There were some rocks I could have held onto nearby, but that's never a good idea. Never know if there's an urchin or bristle worm or some other little baddie hiding.

Thanks for the comments, all.

As to the photoshop...yeah I guess I could have touched it up a little.
