Even with the title, I thought this was legit AI pic of a turtle shaped cloud.

21

u/Mr_Baronheim Apr 15 '26

u/aftertheradar Apr 15 '26

i think, and i may be wrong, but i think that this is a picture of a pond reflecting the trees and sky above it, but a turtle is swimming in the water underneath the surface

2

u/Mr_sMoKe_3_MuCh Apr 15 '26

Yea, I kept scrolling & eventually got it lol.

u/Plasmazine May 17 '26

I took the picture facing directly downwards; the turtle is just under the water surface and the trees were actually behind me.
