Sea Turtles of Hawaii

These are the Sea Turtles I saw in Hawaii on the Black Sand Beach. It was really cool seeing these creatures up close. At first I thought they were dead because they just have that look on their face but I was glad when I realized they were just sunbathing.

Thank you for all the nice comments. It was really amazing seeing them in person. I have never seen one except on TV or at a sea aquarium before this.
That first one is Double tonmapped in HDR Black & White. In the original picture the sky was so blown out I couldn't figure out how to fix it. I tried several different PP approaches and liked this best.

No worries, no one touched them and I was using a 300mm lens.
