Benoit Paillé makes good use of selective focus in the photo above. The best part is it’s not hard to do.
Next time you’re out shooting, try throwing your subject out of focus with a shallow depth of field (like 3.5 and under).

Protection for Asian Turtles
The United States and China are jointly proposing to bring some species of freshwater box turtles (in the family Geoemydidae) in the CITES trade control regime (Appendix II). Check out the proposal: http://ow.ly/hhVxI
Shown here is a black-breasted leaf turtle (Geoemyda spengleri) which is covered by the proposal.(via: USFWS - International Affairs)

Plastics are a serious problem in our oceans - with terrible consequences for marine species, that get entangled often die as a result.
