Jordan Robins, Double Trouble Turtles (ANIMAL 2021)

This series of images was captured on Lady Elliot Island on the Southern Great Barrier Reef. I was photographing after sunset in the lagoon where I came across these two Green Sea Turtles feeding on some seaweed. As the turtles fed, the other turtle would constantly try to steal the seaweed off the other turtle, which caused them to constantly keep crossing paths which made for some great photo opportunities. As the photos were taken just after sunset I edited them all in black and white to focus on the distinct features of the turtles fins and faces and the reflections on the surface of the water.
