Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas. This Green Turtle, among a number of them in this lagoon, got to cruising speed quickly. The name comes from tones in their skin, not the shell color. They eat sea grass, so they have a serrated-edged jaw. (24-70mm lens w/polarizing filter.) Enjoy!

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Nice shot of the green turtle under water Thad. That shell and the head are unusual.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I've enjoyed your foray into this realm of photography, Thad.
Compositions have been strong.. and you handled the technical side of things well.
This one is particularly nice to my eyes.. on the notes of textures, colours within frame. And of course.. the green turtle itself.
Thanks for sharing your efforts behind the lens and bringing these images to us.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Perfect capture of this submerged vegetarian, Thad. (lol)

Truly amazing capture, Thad. Excellent detail and colors. Wouldn't you like to have one of them in your swimming pool?

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967
I too have like this series and I am looking forward to more of them, Thad.

That polarizing filter is really doing the job Thad - I too feel like I could reach out and touch - excellent work.

It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
The lighting shows off the patterns and colors with a mosaic appearance. Very beautiful.

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. -- Philip K. Dick, Valis
I think I saw this one a while back but for the life of me can't figure out why I didn't leave a comment. I must have been pulled away by some emergency... like we were out of corn chips or something. Anyway, I have a screen saver I made for all my Macs (at home and work) whose every image involves water. They're all favorites of either mine or ones I found here at Caedes, and this one is definitely going in that collection. Wow. Not only is the polarizing filter reducing glare on the water's surface but the colors are brilliant. You must have set it at a darker setting for this. I'm guessing that because it was shot through the surface of the water it wasn't quite as crisp as you'd have liked and so rendered it with filters. It could almost masquerade as an abstract but my mind and eye keeps identifying the outlines of all the turtle's surfaces, keeping my mind working (not a bad thing; I'm 62 and can definitely use some mind exercise). The close crop and composition also gives the viewer the sensation that they're almost in the water with the turtle. Love it.
