Paul Duxfield, our competition judge:
"This months choice was a very easy one with a real stand out photograph from Sibylle Malinke of a stunning portrait of a turtle coming up for some air. You can see every little detail, its teeth, every scale on its head and its beautiful eyes, perfectly framed with just a tiny hint of motion in the water cascading around its shell. The angle right at the same height of the turtle places a balanced horizon line separating the land from the sea, and is nicely out of focus placing the emphasis of the shotright on the turtle itself. Technically and compositionally it ticks all the boxes. I wish I had taken it, cracking shot, very well done indeed Sibylle.
