Default Tortoise

Here's another animal picture I took with my point and shoot. I wanted to get up closer to the tortoise's face but it blurred the mouth a little.

Nice sharpness on the eye. The bit of brightly colored food on the tortoises mouth attract my eye away from the main subject. Did you try other angles?

Thanks for posting your two additional shots. I think the second one is a stronger image (ignoring the food that may be cloned away). I like the lighting and composition. The first one is also good but the background creates some distraction from your subject.
