Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge

Oh, is that poor animal still going through that nightmare? Well you certainly managed to get up close and personal during this encounter didn't you…? Your title suggests the way in which you intended to fulfil the challenge brief though I have to agree with some of your commenters perhaps overexposure may have been more appropriate. As such, I have to assume your overexposure was unintentional and whilst it gives good detail of the poor turtle the rest of the image has suffered as a result. Although this is still an amazing image your other is the piece de resistance.

Great view! The highlights are a tad bright for me. I like where you can see texture of the skin.

Your other capture of this captivating scene is much better than this one. I think the rule you'd need to have listed is "Don't overexpose". Still very interesting!
