A marbled godwit stands in shallow water, turning its head to look back over its shoulder, its long upturned bill tracing a graceful line. Soft rose and charcoal tones define its finely patterned feathers, while loose reflections ripple beneath it in a field of open white space.
Developed in the studio with a light, airy touch, the image distills a quiet shoreline encounter into a study of gesture and grace, a brief, curious glance that seems to invite the viewer along.
