Gorgeous. The quality is so clear, and the way the bird is resting on the sand is beautiful but definitely does make you sad. A good photo evokes an emotion, and this definitely stirs up emotion in me.

I don't think its disrespectful to the bird, but I can see how it might be taken that way. However, this photo does not make me feel like its corpse was being slandered or making light of the birds death. If you had taken a picture of a bird half maimed with its organs streaming out and its head crushed, it would be a completely different thing. The story I get from this photo is that life is fleeting, and death is inevitable, but what we leave behind can also be beautiful.

hmm photographing the dead isn't respectful at all, especially since olden times we would photograph the dead as if they were still alive. also thanks for the comment
