Photographer’s Note

No sex, just some lazy turtles in waiting for the sun.

Sometimes you can see 20 turtles likes this on a dead tree. Very funny

Très drôle. Pourquoi font-elles cela?

MiguelP (14324) 2004-10-22 12:55

Trés amusant, Nicolas. Et je dois dire que tu l´as pris trés bien. Felicitacions depuis Madrid.

sengir (4946) 2004-10-22 12:57

funny shot, good title and good surprise when you open it ;)

paco (264) 2004-10-22 13:03

J'aime bien cette photo, en effet elle a un côté humouristique, mais aussi instructif. Au premier coup d'oeil le cadrage un peu penché me gênait, mais en fait c'est bien vu, avec cette position et leurs têtes tendues vers le soleil, c'est adéquate.Bien joué!

Jeppe (18623) 2004-10-22 13:12

Thanks for the note to explain ;-) great shot and funny too - thanks for one to the theme.

alainh (35357) 2004-10-22 13:23

bonsoir Nicolas.
Bien saisi !!!
àprès tout, pourquoi une tortue n'aurait pas le droit à une pulsion ?
est ce uniquement en guise de caillou pour se chauffer au soleil ou tout simplement pour assurer la descendance ?
en tout, tres drôle et bien saisi.
amicalement

Muito divertida a tua fotografia parabens belo momento capturado

Good capture, very interesting. Those turtles look so funny! I wish their backs were not overexposed. Regards, Djenno

chantal (936) 2004-10-22 14:29

Excellent et très marrant! Ces tortues sont dans une posture pour le moins originale. De plus la réalisation est superbe tant au niveau couleur que netteté.

Hanssie (9133) 2004-10-22 14:44

Let's party ! ! !
Just a fun-shot, Nicolas, nice seen !

Zanni (5885) 2004-10-22 15:02

It seems to me the turtles want to imitate elephants at circus. They dedicate theirself seriously. Funny shot. I am agrre with Djenno about the overexposition of backs.

nicO (25) 2004-10-22 15:08

I think they are going to their kindergarten!

jim007 (96) 2004-10-22 16:17

Very funny indeed and they are sooooo cute. Great job capturing it and thank you for sharing.

softflower (0) 2004-10-22 16:36

Nicolas, voilà une jolie chaine que tu nous montre là. Procréation à la chaine chez la tortue ?? Je rigole biensur.
Très belle photo de cet animal que l'on manque de voir dans des positions inhabituelles.

Liora (1857) 2004-10-22 18:46

Terrific capture Nicolas! So sharp and so funny! Just for fun I did a workshop with a tighter crop...

olspar7 (212) 2004-10-22 20:26

I tried to get this shot but as I was approaching I scared some ducks which scattered the turtles. A precious shot.

phinux (80) 2004-10-22 21:44

Très impressionnant! La prise de vue est réussie! J'aimerais voir aussi la quatrième tortue à gauche... Merci d'avoir partagé! c'est remarquable!

mynottc (1) 2004-10-23 8:00

This is great, the opportunistic nature of this shot makes it one of my favourite photgraphs.

Technically, the shells are a little over exposed and there is some detail lost as a result. Otherwise, a very well composed shot. Thank you.

Phoebe (130) 2004-10-23 15:14

que divertida! Es graciosisisisisisisima!!! xD

Joker (312) 2004-11-11 10:53

Great capture with excellent DOF. Never thought of turtles being so communicative :)

bebel (7343) 2004-11-22 16:43

bin pendant que je j'y suis je fais un ptit tour dans ton album ! Allez un faible pour cette photo humoristique bien balancée. Bravo pour l'instantané.

archanabhimasen (270) 2004-11-26 18:50

This is something new and unique that i am seeing :) .... very funny indeed :D

thebecky (686) 2004-11-29 23:52

I think I like this one better. The other photo is amazing as it show's the extent of these crazy turtles, but I like the detail on this one and being able to see their faces. Great!

sayzey (2358) 2004-12-04 20:47

Choo, Choo, Choo, Come on lets do the Conga!

Haha, very funny photo, they seem to be doing the conga dance, or some very kinky sex act!

Either way its very well captured and humourous!

Well done!

Belumpi (306) 2004-12-05 9:47

wow...excellent picture! So funny, especially because they all are watching in a different direction, in way they really dont care.

devimeuxbe (55853) 2005-03-11 10:37

Salut Nicolas,

USErin (445) 2005-09-07 20:48

Everyone is right this is very cute! I would rotate the photo clockwise 10% to make the low horizon line straight.

hi, I think it looks like a bunch of turtles in a circus show. I wonder why are they doing that. Probably it just one of their nature. Interesting shot!
