Photographed this ruddy turnstone on the pier of Oostende, Belgium; the sun was getting low and created a strange glow on the water, on the left of the bird; i really loved however how the colors of the bird matched with those of the rusty wood;

The high shooting angle works rather well here showing off the rusty colored wood ...
Wonderful shot with good comp, Herman! :roll:

I like it - especially the feet and the wood tones and textures

"Red X for me"- what does that mean?

A fantastic image. The rocks make it for me.

Jim: "red X" means that the viewer cannot see the image, they get the square with a rex X in the middle.

Marvelous composition and the inclusion of wooden elements makes this and outstanding image, IMO.

Cool. Just a little lower angle would work for me. The bird really pops.

Herman,

This is a very cool shot. I think you have done an excellent just of matching the bird with an environment that really works well.
