Authentic nature photograph, vertical 3:4. Two wild blue tits perch close together on a lichen-spotted, moss-dusted apple branch at the edge of a garden hedgerow. One bird gently preens the crown feathers of its mate, whose eyes are half closed. Accurate anatomy, detailed blue, yellow and white plumage, fine feather texture. Soft diffuse overcast daylight, natural muted colours, believable exposure. Shot from a respectful distance at eye level with a 400mm telephoto lens, shallow depth of field, creamy blurred green-grey background of leaves and bare twigs, subtle sensor grain. Birds in the lower-middle of the frame with calm open space above. Quiet observational documentary feel. No people, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
