Dead Sea Turtle

[shelby16]

Living on the water, a lot of strange things wash up in your backyard. Today, it was a rare endangered type of Sea Turtle. Later today the local wildlife conservative commission picked him up. They said he wasn't even a teenager, and that the death was fresh. While it was very sad, it was cool.
(Sorry if some of you find it weird) I'm a newbie at photography, and I shot this on my compact camera (not yet a DSLR user, soon though!). Lighting was super bright outside, so I had to tone it down when editing. Also, the water had a natural red looks, but I promise it's blue. Weird.


He had a huge cut on his shell, and we all think it was a propellor.

Anyway, anyone ever seen something like this?

I would have put a bathing suit on it before calling anyone... and when they ask, admit nothing.

Hahaha oh goodness. It was just crazy! We didn't even know it was dead until my sister took it out of the water. It was still breathtaking to see it from up close.

I know!! It was the camera! I posted that it was actually blue, so I'm not sure why it looks red..

I agree, very sad indeed...

It was very sad. It's sad that people on the water dont even realize what they do, like people who drive the boats! It was something like that that hurt him. :/
