Tortoise at Shepreth Wildlife Park. And another tortoise (no, really, it's there).

This chap was sitting in his tank, under a heat lamp - this crop just avoids the lamp above, and a distractingly light pile of rocks on the left. Funny coloured light, too, which is one reason for the monochrome.

I had to mess with various contrast and curve settings to keep the detail on the shell, and the rocks at the top-right, and also get the fade I wanted on the sand - but what you're left with is what I saw.

Good argument for carrying a camera around, no? (The zoo visit was a change of plans after we'd already set out - the X100 was in my jacket just in case... and is hardly perfect for a zoo, but hey, I like this).
