Hawaiian Sea Turtle

In the Hawaiian language, Honu is the name given to the green sea turtle that is commonly seen in the islands. They can grow up to five feet long and live to be 80 years old.

I took this photo at the Maui Ocean Center in Ma'alaea but the quality was blurry and left a lot to be desired. I added textures by pareeerica, borealnz and rinoshea and increased contrast with burn and dodge tools for the resulting image.
