Very cool with the ghosted birds. I like doing HDR stuff with moving subjects. Too bad DPC deems it not to be legal because I think it adds a nice story element to the shot, like it does here.
I saw the x but I was actually more intrigued by the bird(s). Are those three birds or just one that faded out because of overlays and light? That is what's really cool about this picture.
I think the contrast is boosted to the point where you can't discern some details and some shadows and highlights are clipped. Also, I feel like the title is telling me where the "X" is rather than the "X" being the subject I'm drawn to (I'm drawn to the bird(s?) instead). Good composition and DOF.
