Authentic nature photograph, vertical 2:3. A single wild common blue butterfly, wings folded shut showing pale silvery underside with small orange and black spots, clings to a lilac scabious flower head bent sideways by wind. Open chalk downland ridge, grasses streaked and leaning in the same direction, a distant softly blurred ridge line and pale overcast sky filling the upper third. Flat diffuse overcast daylight, natural muted greens, soft violet and silvery-grey tones. Shot at 300mm telephoto from low eye level, shallow depth of field, butterfly sharp, subtle sensor grain, accurate insect anatomy. Quiet documentary feel. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
