A bharal skull (blue sheep) rests against Himalayan rock at 16,000 feet, its hollow eye socket perfectly framing the sun as it creates a 16-point starburst. This is chasing light made literal: positioning the camera at the exact moment when the sun aligns through the eye socket at f/20. The skull represents the cycle of life in harsh mountain environments, where bharal navigate between snow leopards above and human communities below. The sunburst represents the dedication required to capture perfect light in extreme conditions.
