Nothing Fishy Here!
Uploaded: June 27, 2005
Congratulations to Dado, aka The Italian Eye, and the other big WINNERS in the May contest!! (I couldn't resist responding to your "fishy" entry, Dado. Hope you don't mind.) Taken under very difficult circumstances -- my granddaughter was crying because I put the turtle in the vase!!! Window lighting and diffuse flash, 1/60 sec, F4, Tamron 28-75mm 1:2.8 lens, ISO 100

Very well done, DiAnna! And a great response to Danilo's fishy entry!;-) #1526369Laura E. OConnor June 27, 2005
Beautiful image! Colors are great, composition is perfect, LOVE that little turtle! I'd say it was worth the hassle!!! #1526381Terry L. Ellis June 27, 2005
Wonderful reponse to Danilo's entry. Great job, DiAnna and love your story about getting this shot! Well done!! #1526453DiAnna F. Paulk June 27, 2005
Thanks everyone. The turtle is really not as clearly focused as I would have liked -- and I wasn't pleased with the lighting either. I hope to reshoot this under better circumstances sometime soon :) This one really doesn't do Danilo's entry justice, but it was the best I could get today and I just couldn't wait after I got the idea to do it!!

I think this is wonderful. The colors are super and it is reminiscent of Dado's shot - I am sure he is flattered and pleased. #1527458DiAnna F. Paulk June 27, 2005
