Green sea turtle, Ka'aluhu Bay , Kona
November 23, 2009 | Kailua-Kona, Hawaii | Vetting explained
A perfect exposure, he froze in the water while I took the shot. Perfect light and focus. They are always on the move and rarely approach photogs in the water as they are always harasssed and chased with flashes. I kept my distance and got the photo. Inquisitive and aloof, they go hide and sleep in the deep coral gardens (20-30 feet down at the bottom of the ocean) safe from sharks and people during the day, unless hungry and they come to the shoreline to eat algae.
Protected and beautiful, hope they stay that way.
