Grabbed this guy down by the water just as the sun was rising. As you can see he is partially illuminated and the rocks cast a shadow on the lower half. He did not stick around until the sun got high enough.

A beautiful shot, as has already been said the lighting is outstanding and serves to enhance the colours.
