Turtles on the log

This is Turtle Pond in Central Park New York City, New York. The Turtles are back-lit or sunkissed with the reflection in the pond. I believe these are "Red-eared sliders". The turtles eyes still seem like they are looking at me in the shot, even at that distance.

This is actually a two-shot pano, to just get the edge of what I wanted in the same picture at that 200mm magnification. There was some uniform-transform to make it look straight, lighting, and coloring adjustments.
