    Very nice Mike. An unusual topic for a rendering. Pets maybe?

    Small point, they look like Tortoises to me? (clawed stubby feet)
    Turtles (land and aquatic) have flipper like feet.

    Giant Turtles! Very nice Mike.

    Steve it may be the differences between Australian and US species but the local varieties of turtles have claws.

    It all boils down to classification. Tortoise is a land turtle. So it's not a mistake to call it turtle. Right?

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    My dad has had a tortise since he was in grammer school. He is almost 90 and still has the tortise.
