Great image Michel, I see you captured these on a long lens! This is probably as close as you could get without scaring them off.

At first glance, I thought this was a single two-headed turtle. They look like they're scanning the skies looking for signs of intelligent life. Great shot...

Very well composed in difficult light. Could you have exposed down to save the highlights? Nicely done indeed.
