Authentic nature photograph, 3:2 landscape. A single dark ground beetle with a faint blue-black sheen walks purposefully along a slender weathered twig that bridges a narrow gap between two wet, mossy stones on a quiet streambank. Low camera angle at twig level, beetle sharp in the left-centre third with accurate legs, antennae and wing-case texture, background of soft green ferns and blurred water falling away in gentle bokeh. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, natural muted colours, damp earthy tones, believable exposure, subtle sensor grain. 100mm macro lens, shallow depth of field. Quiet documentary feel, free-living wildlife. No people, no text, no logos.
