watch out for your lighting, they are creating alot of unnecessary and distracting reflections, and making the pictures quite flat. try working with 1 flash and 1 white card as a reflector for a start.

Besides the lighting, the backdrop troubles me in terms of its texture, colour (pink) and the creases. And pink silicon gel. Hmmm. I am sorry to say that this combination of props is not pleasing to me.

The backdrop material is felt-like, which makes me think warm/hot. And tortoises always make me think cool. So I can't help thinking the tortoises aren't comfortable there. I have an overactive imagination, please forgive. Hehe.

IMO, #02 is the most successful, the only one which allowed the whimsy to show through without being let down by the lighting and colour.
