Authentic documentary nature photograph, 5:4 landscape. Looking steeply down at a narrow gravel bed on the floor of a rocky canyon: tightly packed, sorted pebbles in slate grey, rust and pale buff, with a thin sheet of clear shallow water sliding diagonally across them in fine ripples. In the upper left corner a dark, wet slab of canyon wall meets the gravel, streaked with mineral stains and a little pale lichen. Crisp stones in the foreground and midframe, a gentle falloff at the far edge. Flat, diffuse overcast light, no hard shadows, cool natural colours, stark and detached. 50mm lens, f/8, subtle sensor grain, believable exposure. No animals, no people, no text, no logos.
