Mark Fitzpatrick s
Terry the Turtle flipping the bird image won the overall award from among more than 7000 entries.
The photo was taken off Lady Elliott Island on the Great Barrier Reef.
The image captures Terry as his flipper is pulling back, as he swims towards the camera. It creates the illusion he is making a rude gesture. It s been amazing to see the reaction to my photo of Terry the Turtle flipping the bird, with Terry giving people a laugh in what has been a difficult year for many, as well as helping spread an important conservation message, Fitzpatrick, from Mackay, said.
