A black-legged kittiwake on a fragment of brash ice, somewhere in the waters around Svalbard. The bird is perfectly still, standing on what amounts to a small raft of ice no bigger than a dinner table, scattered pieces of brash drifting in the calm water around it.
The light was flat and overcast, which is exactly what you want for this kind of subject. No harsh shadows, no blown highlights on white plumage. Just clean, even detail across the grey wings, the yellow bill, those distinctive black wingtips. The shallow water has taken on that pale milky quality you get near glacial ice, and it gives the whole image a quiet, muted palette.
I find kittiwakes remarkable company. They're smaller than you'd expect, and surprisingly delicate for a bird that spends most of its life over open ocean!
