Your Best Portraits

This Galapagos Tortoise was photographed as he munched on grass at the El Manzanillo Ranch on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos Archipelago. The ranch is in the migratory route of the great giant tortoise of Santa Cruz. He cast a wary eye on me as I sat down in the grass at a comfortable distance away from him. As he continued to feed I shot his portrait with a handheld Nikon Z 180-600mm lens on a Nikon Z9 body. The only difficulty in the making of the photograph was getting my old self back up off the ground. After minor tweaking of the RAW file in Lightroom I exported the photo as a jpeg.
