Hawaiian Turtle

Recently while on Maui, we dove at the St. Anthonys wreck where there were a number of what seemed resident turtles.

Nice crop and detail, but it looks a little over saturated to me.

You'll find a 'residency' of turtles wherever there is a good food supply/ Mating ops. etc.

Here I desaturated slightly then brought the coloUr levels in selectively

OK?

Cheers,

Bob

A nice touch may be to remove the bubbles on the left of the pic - they are a little distracting...Also I don't know how you photoshopped the picture but on shots that have a subject and a blue background I usually make multiple layers using the copy layer selection and then work with each one separately - ie. get the water to the blue you like and the turtle to the colors you want. Then simply erase the turtle from the top layer so the properly colored turtle shows through with the properly balanced blue around it...give it a try...

Great shot Caymaniac and spot on color editing Cybergoldfish :wink:

Great shot and spot on color editing Cybergoldfish

Caymaniac took the original shot, I just coloUr edited it!

Odd that when I quoted a comment the smiley changed within it
