This is a revision of a posting that I made in past spring...the original is "Catching Some Rays". I have been wanting to redue this shot for quite awhile...

This is a wonderful shot - I particularly like the way the colour of the shell mimics the colour of the water.

oooooooh, I LOVE painted turtles- I used to have 2 as pets- but sadly, they wouldn't eat their turtle food and they passed away a couple years ago. I loved those little guys. This is a great capture- I just love the orange on his belly :o)

Wow, you really did work on this one. I went to look at the old one. It's amazing what you can do with software. The other one was near perfect to start with and now this one is stunning! Wonderful job, Gerry!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

If you love something, set it free. It it comes back to you, it is yours. If it does not, it was never meant to be. Wil

Didn't see the first one Gerry but this one is superb - so whatever you redid definitely worked. What an amazing creature! Nothing like that over here.
Cheers,
Steve.
