The last one is spectacular 😍

My favorite one is the first one, with the turtles back-to-back. Not too sure tho if it's a playful-tender moment or a rescue mission. Or something else perhaps?

hmm, I kinda assumed it was a reflection trick with the water surface, but not sure.

Pff..I'm afraid, you could be right and that's a total bummer.

Edit: Yep, unfortunately for me, it's a reflection thingy

“Using the surface of the calm water I captured the striking reflection.."

And now, I just don't like it.

I have dabbled a bit with underwater photography and it's a common trick 🤷‍♂️ But I still think it's a nice photo overall.

Yeah, it is a nice photo, from a technical perspective I suppose. But without any meaning for me. Still, good to know!
