Excellent color, Justin. If that's without flash, were you using a magic filter, white balance, or post-processing?
This one is probably my favorite as far as composition. Unfortunately, it was taken with the Sportdiver 35mm and didn't turn out as well as I would have liked:

Somewhere, I've got a shot of a turtle Falling Off a Log. Sadly, it wasn't underwater, though.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by,
and then it petered out and I had to retrace my steps and wasted half a day.

I have been shooting turtles for a while, when I can...they are interesting, and don't move so fast that you can't get a couple of shots of them before they swim away.
