I don't know what specific kind of sea turtle this is, but it sure wasn't easy getting this shot. They feed in the water close to the shore and only pop their heads up for a breath for a moment, every few minutes.

Excellent catch of this Turtle doing a heads up Richard! Great detail and sharpness in the head, set off against the 'ghosting' of the body under water. Nice one!!

Very nice. Love the ripples of the water reflecting the underwater part of the turtle. Looks like a synchronized swimming move!

Out of curiosity, where was this shot?
