Sea Turtle

Taken with an A2 in an ikelite housing full frame, 28-105 USM @ f 6.3 1/90th second. Two strobes.

Hi Bob,

Beautiful image. Water color is gorgeous. Where was this taken? Is that red algae on the rear of the shell?

Thanks! taken in Belize. The water had some stuff in it, so I actually cleaned it up in PS a bit. the turtle is exactly as the original slide, so my guess is that is some kind of algea on the back. I really have no idea why the back came out red, but it is on the slide as well so I left it.

I think I probably overdid the water a bit, but my wife likes it, so thats all that really matters.

That's a gorgeous shot. I like the water just as it is. My only recommendation would be to quieten the hot spots on the neck and rear flipper. In any case, very nice!
