Starling on Frosty Inlet Before Dawn
by Maria Graham
A wide panoramic view shows a superb starling perched on frost-laden reeds beside a tidal inlet near Zhangjiajie. The bird's iridescent plumage shifts between deep violet and metallic green under the faint starlight and subtle ground glow. Heavy frost crystals coat every blade of grass and the dark water's edge, creating a textured white landscape. Late spring air has frozen the surface into a brittle sheen. The bird stands alert, its sharp beak contrasting against the soft, glittering frost. Shadows stretch long across the frozen marsh, while the horizon fades into a deep indigo sky.
