Untitled, Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland, 1999.

Notes:

I like the composition. The upper portion of the feather is blown out and blends in with the sand. Direct sun on the beach made for harsh shadows. Shielding the scene with my own shadow might have helped. Smoothed sand doesn’t look great.
