Hyperrealistic editorial photograph, landscape 8:5. A single small tuft of living eelgrass rooted in pale marine sand inside a clear saltwater studio tank, photographed straight through the glass at plant height. Treat the plant like a formal portrait sitter: upright ribbon-shaped green leaves grouped into a composed silhouette, except for one longer leaf bowing sideways in a loose, naturally buoyant arc. Position the tuft slightly left of center with generous empty water to the right. Tank edges and equipment remain outside the frame. External gelled lights produce a muted blue-to-lilac gradient on the backdrop beyond the tank; a soft neutral key preserves the natural green leaves. Clear water, convincing submerged materials, restrained reflections, controlled highlights. Medium-distance 85mm portrait-lens framing, entire tuft sharp, background softly receding. Quietly playful, polished but physically real. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
