    Ruddy Turnstone

    Galveston Island, Upper Texas Coast

    D2X, 600, ISO 250, f8, 1/1000.

    Here's an oldie from a few years back. I found this crab washed up on the beach, so I picked it up and placed it in this shallow saltwater pond. I layed down on my belly and it was not long before a few different species came by to check it out.

    Like the reflection and the low angle. the light is very nice. The position of the bird really gives you a feel of what's happening.

    Alan, this is a great image! The colors of the ruddy against the blue BG are really nice.

    Glad your bait worked out for you

    Great idea and it worked! So does that mean you have to say it was baited? LOL. I love the low angle, reflection and story it tells.

    I remember this series Alan! Excellent set-up and great action. The low angle makes this one for me.
