I feel I have to explain this because even though this is abstract, it's actually a large palm leave that had fallen in the water and was partially submerged. If you look closely you can even see part of the leaves under the water. I thought it made for a great black and white and I really like it but realize it's totally a matter of taste.

In B&W the leaf is seen as a pattern far more readily than it would be in colour. More efective, I think.
The turtles almost seem to be posing. "Make sure you get my good side."
P.S. Don't worry about it, if you don't post anything above it for a bout a day, it certainly won't matter.
So funny to watch :-) none of them in my country Norway. Therefore the seem a little bit sceary too...
Nice week to you.
Oooh, that's a cute baby turtle. Funny how we capture unsuspecting creatures.
Those turtles are all posed in the same way! I love the markings on their throats.
Wonderful shot of the turtles and the one of the palm leaf is also great.
I totally agree 2sweetnsaxy the 2nd one looks great in b&w. I had to look twice before I figured it out. Very nice.
Look at the reflection of the turtles in the water...very nice and the little one is so cute.
Good shots. I'm finding monochrome is not easy to master.
Aren't they adorable ;-) The leaf looks great too, nice job.
Careful! The one in front looks like he's slipping a bit. Very nice capture.
Turtles love the sun and any available perch. I've been seeing them here at Boggs Lake as well, lined up fore and aft on any protruding surface. Very nifty. Sign of spring, I suppose.
Hi! I love that plam in the water...really gazed and in B/W it stands out!
The turtles are very photogenic!

awww.. the little baby is a cutie patootie! I have pet turtles so I just adore this shot!
That palm leaf shot really works in black and white. I think the patterns it brings out are a lot more interesting than the original full color shot would be.
Nice choice for this week's entry.
I can picture how happy baby turtles to be photograph:)
Nice shot in B&W.
Such a fun little turtle trio. heehee! Great capture. But the palm leaf abstract steals the show. Stunning capture!

Great turtle shots and I also loved your bee photos.
These are wonderful abstract in deed!
I really like seeing the turtles.
Two excellent monochromes
Well, I say you have good taste, then! I love that second shot and the first is really sweet.
Great capture of the turtles. It must be a family, mom, pop, and kiddo.
I love the turtle shots!

Very nice. The yellow flower with the bee is wonderful!
2 รจ meglio di 1 !
Turtles are so funny the way the lay there with the feet sticking out behind them. Great shot and the B&W just enhances it more. That last shot is great! You have a good eye for what makes a wonderful shot.
Turtles, how pretty! the baby looks sooo cute.
I love the photo of the palm leaf! I agree that it would not work nearly as well in colour! This way it is all about the patterns and the light! I can really see this on a wall!
