I don't normally shoot directly towards the sun, but...
While I was waiting to photograph my wife and my sister (two separate individuals) horseback riding on the beach, I looked south and w-a-y off in the distance I saw a deer walking near the water.
I edited the photo for tonality and a fine art sort of feel. Perhaps oil on canvas?
Caught this house sparrow in a bush. In his beak, you can see what looks like his meal for the evening.
The current AI contest made me revisit a photo I took in 2008 that I've been trying to save from a chain link fence.
It was July 6, 2026, around 6:30 p.m. The sun was settling low over Port Orchard, and the wildlife seemed to settle with it.
It was mid September late in the afternoon, a group of sailboats were out on the water enjoying the weather, there was a soft breeze blowing, pushing on the sails.

I don't know your location here. However I was in Redwoods National Park once, right down on the beach, and there were Roosevelts Elk playing in the surf. That was startling.
Nehalem Bay State Park, so it could have been Roosevelt Elk or Black-tailed deer. The distant rock formation is "Twin Rocks Arch" near Rockaway beach in the distance... about 6.4 miles away from where I was standing.
