Wow this is so cool, I've never seen a tortoise this close up before, they are quite amazing to look at aren't they. Thanks for sharing this great shot.

Very interesting colors on the tortoise and you've photographed it with great clarity.

It is normal land tortoise, i found in river ganga in india, actually there was hawk trying to pray on it, I took it and put into my aquarium. This shot was taken when I took it out and put it on the floor in sun, to get it blood warm.
