Great up close capture of this red-eared slider! Love the eyes. Great lighting, beautiful markings, focal precision and appealing selective focus. Love the warmth of the tones.

Wow, I somehow missed this distinguished red-eared slider! What a fantastic shot - it does not seem at all to be through glass - it looks like you got belly down on the road and met him face to face! This is just excellent, Willie, and I am happy to have a 6 today to give you with great pleasure! Impressive work.
Thanks so much for a wonderful share.

Comment from Cephus


Very nice macro shot - what magnification can you get with that zoom?

Like this character, seems to not be happy but he still makes for a great subject and you did a great job of getting his portrait.

Would like a little more dof to put a little more in sharp focus but don't get me wrong, the image is still good.

a face only a mother could love! I love the focus and the colors add drama and visual interest. Nice use of cropping to give the viewer a sort of in your face view!..excellent job
