Love the back-lighting on the bird. Funny capture with the turtle looking like it's shooing it away.

Comment by cresus:
This is confusing because it's hard to tell who's the main subject. The bird is in focus but facing the edge, where the turtle is slightly OOF but coming in. I think this would have worked better either with a different angle to put both of them a little more centered and have the bird not looking directly out of the picture from the edge (this leads my eye out...I didn't even notice the turtle until I read the title and wondered what it meant)...he could still be looking out if the turtle was more of the focus (increase depth of focus so their interaction is the focus).

Nice backlighting - works well with side view. Composition not so strong for me, I think it would work better if the bird was looking into the negative space area of the image rather than out of it.
