    Nice tortoise. Boy he's big.

    Nothing like a kid nose to nose with nature.

    I like the composition. Great shot!clap.gif

    Welcome to the Wildlife Forum. wave.gif A fun shot but I agree with Dave about the focus.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Don,
    Yes, he was massive! This was in Parrot Jungle in Miami if you are interested and ever down that way.
    thanks for commenting,

    Hi Harry,
    You know what they say - never work with Children or animals - that tortoise was too fast for me!
    From memory, this was with a smaller camera and i was zoomed in a bit, so that may have had something to do with the focus.
    Thanks for taking the time to comment,
    regards,
    Carl
