Part 1:Write a Caption


The first caption was about the SUBJECT of the photo:


A young green turtle swimming around Pom Pom Island in the Celebes Sea, Sabah. Green sea turtles are drawn to the sea grass which forms a major part of their diet. Pom Pom Island has lost a lot of coral to bomb fishing, but the conservation group TRACC are working on coral replanting, attracting more marine life back to the island.

The second was a caption about the photographic elements of the image:


The angle the turtle is taken at indicates that the photographer must have been swimming alongside, and the all important eyes are clear in the image, despite the front not being the main focus. There is evidence of other marine life in the background, and of the deep sea being ahead, adding an element of mystery to the image.
