No one else has commented so i will for you matey.

What can i say?...........

I feel there is a bit too much sharpening which has cause haloing around the edges, just a little, not much. May also be JPEG artifacts adding to it, so if it is then ignore my comment about sharpening

The image seems a little lacking in colour depth. partly because of the grey/brown tortiose and partly because of the green/brown background. They are not a good colour mix, which is a pity really.

I think cutting the tortoise in half is not only cruel, but should be avoided unless you are considering a closer crop or a nice soup.

I can see where you were heading to with the pic and i congratulate you and even encourage you to experiment in this area in the future.

To improve. A closer crop of the tortoises head and less background would make it much better. Remember to focus on what it is you are photographing, remove things unnecessary.

Keep it up and keep sharing.

Thanks for the honest feedback Steve. It really helps with the learning and development.

I see what you mean about the over sharpening. Someone should take my PP toys away for a while. I really want to achieve more natural looking results. Its so easy to overdo.

As for the comment on composition - i was trying to get a sense of motion in the picture. Shame to hear that all i got was tortoise soup!

Willy, try converting to b&w and playing with the tones...I know I said that to someone else tonight, but when I had another look of this image for some reason I saw it in b&w. I know i'm not going crazy...i think...
