Tortoise

[Daysleeper40]

Hi All,

I've been looking over some old shots and found these two that I thought were worth PP'ing. Taken at Liberty's Owl & Reptile centre. I was on a photography day and one of the best bits were the reptiles - being able to see / shoot them without glass was a rare treat

C&C always welcome - it was a cold but very bright day and I did struggle with the light somewhat:

Thanks for looking

#2 for me, the first suffers a bit from the really harsh shadow, which there's nothing you can do about.

Thanks for taking the time to comment Dod - I see what you mean about the shadow. I think I prefer the pose in #1 but the light is better in #2.
