A Crescent Left by the Tide
A shallow rock pool reflects blue sky, with a loose crescent of white foam following its dark stone rim.

Real-life editorial photograph, 4:5 portrait. Look steeply down at one elongated tidal rock pool enclosed by irregular charcoal-grey coastal stone. Blue sky reflects in the still water; a thin, broken crescent of leftover sea foam follows the lower inside rim, an amusing natural curve rather than a constructed face. A gap between higher rocks admits a localized patch of direct sunlight across the water and one wet edge, while the surrounding stone remains in open shade. Tight graphic crop, pool slightly off-centre, a quiet area of shaded rock above. Subtle submerged pebbles visible near the shallow edge, restrained wet highlights, naturally irregular foam. 50mm lens, sufficient depth of field to keep the pool and rim clear. Natural colour and realistic exposure, no HDR, excessive microdetail, artificial blur or added grain. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
