Rim-Lit Red.

During the winter months in Scotland, when the sun remains low in the sky, it can cast shards of light through a woodland, lighting parts up, leaving the rest in shade.

Here I used such light, and exposed for it (not the overall scene as my eyes were seeing it) to get this effect, showing just the illuminated rim of the squirrel's fur, and nothing much else.

Thanks for all the fantastic comments, likes and boosts on my images. Very humbling. 😊
