Shot through glass and under water at the Toledo Zoo, this turtle/tortoise seemed to be smiling about something.

In life as in dance: grace glides on blistered feet.
I am by no means an expert on this subject (or any subject, by the way) but I guessing what Jimbob has here is a Diamondback Terrapin. They love to live in the water and they have those web feet. Now, how they get their heads back into their shells will need to be address by someone else. lol.

It must be the rare Giraffe Turtle, JimboB. Serve with the pheasant under glass and a nice turtle soup. Clear for all the obstacles you had.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
This looks great for a shot through glass - he does look to be a happy turtle.

Very cute! He does look like he is smiling. I would too if I was fed every day and had a free home. =) Nice one!

Unusual with a long neck like that Jimbob. Nice and clear capture.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
He's smiling because you noticed him. Excellent capture through both glass and water.

Super shot through the glass Jim. I have never seen such a long neck on a turtle before! Neat.

Jimbob - That's one long-necked tortoise! Very fine work through the glass and water, and with flash(?). Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
Hey looks like he is smiling and enjoying the good life...my what a long neck he has! The only thing that could spoil it was if he was made into turtle soup...kidding Jimbob!

I don't know, Jim. I think I detect some motion blur which is to be expected from these agile and fast moving creatures. I hear that they can attain speeds of 100 mph in a steep dive. Oh, that a peregrine, not a terrapin. I was wondering how he could fly without wings. Then again, I'm wondering what speeds he might attain if dropped from an airliner at 40,000 feet. :-)
