Authentic nature photograph, vertical 4:5, quiet documentary style. A single wild carpenter bee clings to the face of a weathered grey fence post beside its round bored nest hole, wings folded, photographed from a low three-quarter angle in the lower third of the frame. Flat soft overcast daylight, no harsh shadows. Near-monochrome palette: glossy black body with a faint blue sheen on the wings, warm grey wood grain with fine cracks, dark out-of-focus background of damp hedge for a subdued, foreboding mood. Generous soft empty space above. 100mm macro lens, shallow depth of field, crisp eye and hair detail, subtle sensor grain, accurate bee anatomy. No people, no text, no logos.
