This brightly colored box turtle had plenty of attitude while striking his best pose. He did not move the entire time I encircled him, even when a fly landed on his leg.

It's a pity that the fly didn't land on its nose (similar to the famous award-winning photo of a turtle with a butterfly on its nose). Great photo, excellent postprocessing!
Thomas, excellent composition, color, exposure, etc.
The glare on the top of the shell did you dodge it or just a misfortune of no polarizing filter? If it was the latter I wouldn't have thought of one till after the fact either.
Power to all things large and small ;-)
