Snowy Plover Fort Myers Beach, FL Canon 40D, 500mm f/4 & 1.4x TC 1/1000, f/6.3, ISO 200
In this bird/habitat image a Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus tenuirostris) huddles in a depression on the beach during high wind. I was really struck by how well the Cuban subspecies blends into the sand...they are very pale! There was no way to include the feet hidden in the sand, so I went for something else.

I don't know how you even caught sight of this little guy, but I'm so impressed with the clarity of the photo! I love how soft the bird looks against the harshness of the cold wintry environment.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
