Monochrome Monday: Turtle
Taken in Raja Ampat (West Papua, Indonesia). When we found him, he was completely ignoring us – we were four scuba divers back then. I guess he was starving or he did not think we would steal his food. It was fun to watch him eating. At the same time I was rather glad that he did not feel threatened by us.
This post is also to fulfill my promise to Images by T. Dashfield who loves turtle! 🙂 Yup, we saw turtle(s) during the diving and this one is very special 🙂
indahs: dive, travel & photography 
He’s a cutie. 🙂 Perfect photos for monochrome.
Thank you! I am surprise myself, it seem turtle could be a nice subject for monochrome photo 😉
It must be a great sensation to see them in their natural environment.
Thank you Draco! Yes, it was always thrilling to see a turtle or two. There is something about them that attract me – maybe because the always look cool and calm :))
Great shots Indah, I think turtles know that we human can’t eat underwater 🙂 or maybe they think sharing is caring. Thanks for sharing and have a great week Indah.
Thank you Erwin! and my pleasure to share the ocean beauty – have a great week to you too!
Ah what a beautiful thing to watch, he is gorgeous!
