As the sun cast its final glow across the wetland, the world seemed to shimmer.

The photograph captures a single figure, smiling midair, held between sky and earth, between day and night. The tide moves beneath her, and yet she floats above it—light, unburdened.

In the final hour of the day, we caught a moment that may never return, and smiled within it.
