Jordan Robins, First breath of the new day (January theme: First light)

This photo was captured on Lady Elliot Island, the southern tip of the great barrier reef. I was walking out on the lagoon on sunrise with my water housing when I stumbled across a sleeping sea turtle. As I approached the turtle it woke up and greeted me taking his first breath of the day as the first rays of sunlight peeped over the horizon.
