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 
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’m beside myself with happy 🙂 Love these.
My pleasure! I was thinking of you and your turtle post when watching him eating 😀 he was really taking his time enjoying his food..
Beautiful!!
Merci! 🙂
Very lovely photos, Indah. It is such a thrill to share space underwater with turtles. 🙂
Many thanks Jet! Indeed, they are such humble animals 🙂
Way cool, Indah. I love how you processed these images. Thank you! LOve, Amy
Thank you so much Amy! I thought to do something different with underwater images 😉
And you did and I LOVED it. (((HUGS))) Amy
So cool, I think there is nothing more beautiful than a nice, big sea turtle sharing your dive. Great photos, the B&W excellent.
Thanks Randall! It was always exciting to see turtle, the bigger the better! 😉
Lovely! Would love to see him in colour too!
Thank you! Ok, I will post the color version someday 😉
Such a graceful animal! Is that a Ridley turtle?
Yes! I think the ones in Indo-Pacific area is the Green sea turtle – c. mydas if I am not mistaken..
Very nice pictures. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
