Nice detail of a face only a mother could love, and by all accounts they have the nasty temperament to go with it!

Interesting view-really shows it's character-I hope you were at the 400 end of the lens!

I've not seen this kind of view of a turtle before, it's quite interesting to see how it almost has a wrinkly "hood" with the neck pulled in. Nicely composed.
