Description:

I took this photo from a bridge that crosses Lake Springfield as this red-eared slider turtle swam underneath. I didn't realize that the fish was in the picture until I examined the photos later on my computer.

Nice two for the price of one Neil!
Thank you all for your kind comments. It is nice to see this old spotting getting some attention now, as it is one of my favorites! :)
Super! Love the specs of bright colors from the slider contrasting with the background!
Maybe a Bluegill, definitely looks like some flavor of Lepomis
