Couldn't resist trying out the new format - looks good to me.
I took this image on the south coast at Pagham harbour. the intention was to use a building sea to background the bird and to demonstrate its small size against its environment by keeping it quite small in the frame. I hope it works and that you like it. C&C welcome, good or bad as always.

I really like this one Eric. The colouration of the bird matches the pebbles well and that approaching wave in the background gives it a sense of dynamism.
