A Hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is depicted swimming in clear, turquoise water, positioned diagonally from the lower right to the upper left of the frame. The turtle's carapace displays a mottled pattern of dark brown, black, and yellow-orange scutes. Its plastron, visible on its underside, is lighter, predominantly yellow-orange with some dark markings. The head is slightly elevated, pointed towards the upper left. The front left flipper is fully extended, showing the characteristic mottled coloration, while the right front flipper is partially obscured. The rear flippers are visible extending backwards. The scene is viewed through a transparent barrier, indicating an aquarium or a protected marine enclosure. The water surface is visible across the top, above which external elements are discernible: a wooden fence structure, green foliage, and a light-colored sky. A faint, dark reflection or silhouette of a human head and shoulders is present on the glass in the upper right quadrant. The underwater environment consists of a sandy bottom in the lower left, transitioning to natural rock and coral formations that occupy the lower right portion of the frame. Several small fish are present in the background, including vibrant blue damselfish among the rocks and other darker-bodied fish. This scene is located at the Aquarium des Lagons Nouvelle-Calédonie in Noumea, France.
