About the Image(s)

For this month I was able to photograph a turtle at the New York Botanical Gardenin using my canon EOS Rebel T7 with a 75-300 mm lens. I then worked on adjusting the lighting and adding a crop. I am unsure if I want to keep the purple flecks in the water and was wondering what everyone thought on them. To get the turtle in focus I used the auto focus setting on the camera and then adjusted the focus by hand. I am unsure of the quality of the focus and how best to improve.

I love the pose of the turtle with his head held high. He looks so regal.
I do like the purple flecks but they are a distraction. In Lightroom or PS I would go to "color hue and saturation", choose reds and desaturate a little by moving the slider to the left.   Posted: 10/07/2025 18:30:47
