Green Sea Turtle and Vibrant Reef Circle

Photographing this green sea turtle in the shallow waters of the Galapagos was an unforgettable experience. The vibrant reef walls here are among the most colorful I've ever seen. My goal was to frame the turtle within its stunning environment, and nature provided the perfect setup. While drifting with the current, I reached a corner of the reef wall and noticed a turtle swimming toward me. I captured this moment just as it aligned with the reef, creating the illusion of a circular backdrop that beautifully complements the turtle's form.
