Lunchtime, Withlacoochee State Forest

Comments Welcome!

Nice blue tones, make it like stone view. Is it real color??

Good tortoise shot. Nice sharp detail where it counts. It makes it better that he is eating too. Colors look natural enough on my monitor. The (slightly) cool caste is normal, and is from high K skylight, or so it seems to me - what we naturally get in this type of shot if it's not in direct sunlight. (?)

I didn't add any bluish tone to this photo after it was taken (though I think canon cameras do tend to exaggerate this color a bit in shady conditions). Still, I think most of this tone is "natural." There are other color variations in gopher tortoises with some appearing almost black and others a carmel color (they're rare, though). Thanks for your comment. Alex

Nice catch. Cheers, Sondra
