Close, but Not Centre
An oblique square photograph of a single arrow in an outdoor archery target, its shadow reaching toward the yellow centre.
Small 640×640, Medium 1200×1200
Real-life editorial photograph, square 1:1. Close oblique view of an outdoor archery target after a shot: one arrow embedded in the blue scoring ring at upper right, its dark shaft projecting toward the camera and its small red fletching clearly visible. Afternoon sunlight casts the shaft’s slender diagonal shadow toward the untouched yellow bullseye at lower left. Recognisable yellow, red, blue, black and white concentric rings; the target extends beyond the frame. Slightly rippled matte paper with a few ordinary punctures, not artificially distressed. Tight, graphic composition with breathing room around the arrow, a quiet sense of almost reaching the mark. Use a normal lens, moderate depth of field, realistic exposure and natural colours. Keep the target and arrow readable without exaggerated texture or artificial blur. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
