I like the counterbalance of the rock at the end of the bridge to the turtle and his smaller rock. It's easy to see the connection between the two rocks because the turtle on his rock is looking right at the other one. The turtle's placement on the lower third sweet spot gives him visual power, so we know he's the subject, even though he's small. And then the bamboo pointing to the turtle adds visual weight to his side of the image. Taken as a whole, this is a well balanced scene. Good example!

The main thing you could do to improve this shot would be to take it at Photographer's time for prettier light. But then, would the turtle be out sunning?

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
