Wonderful Steven!!!!!! Another one that brings to mind the Terry Pratchet books. The Discworld travels through space on the back of a great sea turtle. The effects here certainly make him/her seem otherworldly! LOVE IT!!! #5419998Paul G Slate 1/30/2008 4:18:35 PM

~Thanks everyone! I am stunned. I entered a couple on a whim and didn't give it a second thought and then the email comes through announcing. Honesty, there are pictures entered better than this, but I'm not going to complain. If anyone wants a wallpaper of anything in the gallery, let me know, I have made quite a few and don't mind sharing. Only need emailed the resolution of your desktop. Thanks Again!~ #5523509Sarah G 2/20/2008 4:59:42 PM
I've got a BIG, BIG smile on my face.Congratulations Steve!!!
Miss getting to see new creations on your gallery, but I hope all is going well and you're not TOO busy.
Again...
CONGRATULATIONS!!! :) #5523519

A Hawksbill Sea Turtle, Kipp Aquarium at the Houston Zoo 2003.
Another inhabitant from that vacation series. Canon 28-135mm.
The turtle is the only original part from the photo.
The turtle required significant edits as thru-the-glass photos do.
The sea floor, light effects and bubbles are all added in layers for effect.
For those who asked, this won $500 for the January 2008 cash contest.
