The raised heads of both the turtles look nice. Thinking how a horizontal composition would look? Did you try a horizontal framing? I think you could have used a more narrower aperture for more DOF as the shutter speed was quite high. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one. Good to see two turtles on the dead tree stump. Were you clicking from a bund? There is a catchlight on the second turtles eyes. The same thing on the first turtle would have been superb. Thanks for sharing a rare species.

Cheers,
