Critique Two

When I first look at this photo the color of it, is the first thing that hits me. The second thing thats very prominent is how cartoonish the image looks even though its a real photograph. It was taken for national geographic for their magazine but the photographer is unknown to me. The sea turtle is centered in the image engulfed around a bright, vibrant, blue sea. The turtle has a 3D look to it with a crystal clear focus. The photographer captured the sun shinning down in the water, perfectly. The color is very vibrant which I think works negatively towards the image because it gives it a fake appearance. The lighting, exposure, and contrast for this image is only left to one word- perfect. When examining this photo I get a very calming and happy feeling. The subject and color settings used help evoke those emotions. The image to me does not really tell a story.
