Description
This really isn't called the 'Road Turtle'. :) I gave it that name here just because we found this on the road, and I nearly ran him over. With Daughter around, she begs me to stop so we can rescue every turtle we see. Of course, she doesn't have to beg me too hard; I hate to see these guys get flattened, too. ;)
Thank you for taking the time to view -- comments welcome and, critics too, I suppose. lol
Once again, this image was a 'mess'. There was grass coming up over his face and some of his shell .. had i posted the entire photo, too, it would have appeard 'lost' in the image. To eliminate much of that, I thought I'd focus more on his pretty face and just enough of his shell.
Have a beautiful day ....

Great shot and glad you didnt run him over. :)
Excellent shot! Have a great day!
the shell is marvelous in close view..I like the crop and clear view of the turtle.
I've done my share of turtle rescues too. :) Great detail you captured on the shell and love those colors!
well i like the close crop, you did well... the turtles seem to be out in force!! :]
He has marvelous textures!
Wild turtles!!! That is way cooler than all the mooses we have running around here. Awesome shot of that colourful little thing. Have a wonderful weekend #:O)
wowww what a gorgeous marvellous shot perfect detail and pov.... sublime work... hehehe cute little guy :)...)
WOW great rescue!! Great photo!!
You could have shot the turtle on the road and then moved it :) Women! Oh I'd better not go there :( might get Booed at! 10 out 10 for the rescue!!!
Wonderful shot here, sweet of you and your daughter to rescue it !!! :o)
Great Shot and thanks for saving the turtles!
Great job you did both! Beautiful animal.
Well done with rescue and cropping. For my taste light reflecting from shell is too bright, it distracts view a bit from its beautiful head.
Beautiful macro !!!
Beautiful shot!! I love the colours and the POV you selected :)) I didn't know turtles couls have so nice colours :)) Superb!!
fantastic macro with fabulous colored details! gorgeous capture! ;o)
Very nice shot, I love the colours. I feel a bit confused about where you live, It seems like we share some mutual wildlife, But in sweden we dont have wildlife turtles.
I am glad you have respect for life and not running over these turttles. I am sure lots of people would do otherwise. BTW: this is a lovely portrait of this little guy. Very crisp and colourful.
great expression of the road turtle :-) and very good cropping!
Excellent portrait.
