Autumn Nature at the Sourland Mountain Preserve.

I went out for a walk this morning at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. I saw a large snapping turtle moving from the pond to a marsh area. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V3 camera and the new 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 400, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/60 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Nik Define, and Photoshop CC. This image is not cropped, and if you look closely you can see my reflection in its eye.
