No Feathers
by MFC - 1st Place

Luckily caught this loggerhead sea turtle swimming into a beam of light...what a great swimmer!
Reminded me of a graceful bird in flight...except in a world full of water. Really fun to watch.
I tried many times to get a shot of him/her that I liked. I only removed one small fish.
The water was very clear; but the depths were darker/unevenly lit...the "seascape" was irregular.
I chose to leave it as it appears... and not to process it to make it completely homogeneous.

Beautiful. I do think I've been watching too much CNN, because its angle of descent and bank remind me of a strike aircraft. Incredible shot! Joe Reilly
