Woo hoo! They are not the most accomplished photos in the world but they are mine and they are my first 2 turtles, both seen in Barbados.

The full frame one was a very large female. I didn't have my strobe with me so it it a bit dull. The blue one was way into the blue so I just zoomed right in, strobeless and flashless and got this surreal shot.

Yeah, Leesa - hawksbill. We were also lucky enough to see one up on the beach laying its eggs, which was a special moment.

ALWAYS keep your first shots of something...you can always replace it later with a better one!

These look Ok to me!
