Lots of cool turtles on the rocks, but this one mis-calculated!

I love this image, I can feel the turtle trying to change his balance on the rock, whether to sun himself or move back into the water. The turtle is sharpe , the water in bokeh. I might suggest decreasing the highlights a bit on the water and increasing the exposure on the turtle just a tad to make it pop out more.

Hi, Jagdeep - thanks for this unexpected EP!
Even little critters deserve a spotlight, not just the large African wildlife.
Much appreciated!
