That is an absolutely captivating image, Mike--at least to me--and it doesn't have any snakes in it!
Great job of getting all the variations of subtle colors that go into his camouflage and using them to make him stand right out.
And then, of course, his eye!

Thanks Angky. I don't often see this turtle, so I had to take some photos. The eye shows that way because it was about the only part of the turtle out above the water and reflected the sun light. It was nice to see a different turtle at the nature preserve and no snakes were in sight. I was hoping to see some Monarchs, but haven't seen any yet.
