Default 4 stranded turtles

EDIT* Ooops I posted this in the wrong section. Could an admin move it to wildlife critique? Sorry!

Here's an image taken at a wildlife recovery center on vancouver island. Any suggestions or tweeks? Color? Exposure? DOP? Things you like or dislike about the photo. Anything would be fantastic!

Interesting photo... the focus on the turtles alone is nice.. makes me wander what are those bunch doing and why. Not too much surrounding elements to distract the view. My only suggestion is to crop the grass area on top to create more empty space arround it..
colors seems nice at my screen and the contrast of green water with the turtles darker color makes it even better..

I fully agree with cropping out the grass and just having the water fill the frame. I probably would have moved the turtles a little closer (I realize this isn't your fault. teehee) and more off-center. But I really like the minimalism feel to it!

Ah thanks for the feedback! I cropped out the grass out and it sure does look a lot better!
