Spotlit Natural Subjects

Brief

In this contest I would like to see your best photos of natural subjects that are spotlit with an intense beam or spot of light, illuminating the subject from its darker surroundings. The light can be from a natural source such as sunlight or moonlight, or artificial lighting. Examples include a single flower spotlit by a patch of dappled sunlight or a spotlit bird on a branch with the rest of the tree in shadow. The main subject has to be natural such as a tree, rock, flower, bird or other animal. If people are in the frame, they must be unnoticeable in the background.
