leopard tortoise fpc this is what i mean by an 'average shot' i am a photographer and i don't really find anything in the photo that would make it anything special from many others the use of flash rid the turtle of any contrast and washed out the colors while created dark shadows under the shell the composition is pretty average all i can say about it is that you centered the turtle it looks like you just relied on the auto settings on the camera and got lucky all in all it's a photo anyone could have taken
