A lone sandpiper balances on one leg at the edge of a salt marsh, its reflection stretching downward through glassy water. Soft dusk light bathes the scene in muted rose and violet, while shallow focus draws the eye to the bird's quiet stillness. Captured at the waterline on Prince Edward Island, this fine-art photograph evokes the calm pause between day and night.
