This Snowy Plover was photographed last year on Sanibel. The sun has started to touch the western horizon and the light has changed from golden to reddish. The light is so nearly horizontal that, while the bird is still illuminated, the sand it is standing on is in shadow. I selectively lightened the eye. I would wish that the feet were visible. I left the habitat as is - this is what you get on Sanibel and it is part of the charm of being there. :) The bird is standing on a beach that is sloping downward to our right - towards the water. 40D, 500 f/4, 1/160, f/8, ISO 400, full frame. Comments are welcome.
