I was just about to close the browsertab, my mouse was halfway through the close button, but this photo captured my attention. Especially the nice orange that contrasts with the light gray backgound absorbs my view.
My eyes now focus the little turtle and there are details over details, nice reflections, a very good depth of field. The human fingers nicely demonstrate how small this little thing really is. And it makes you think twice about if this small animal is really alive or just a little figure, because of it's perfectness.
This picture is an excellent example for depth of field usage and the rule of thirds. I love it.
