Authentic wildlife photograph, 16:9 landscape, quiet documentary style. A wild cow moose and her young calf stand nose to nose at the edge of a boreal wetland, shot from a respectful distance with a 400mm telephoto lens from a low, level viewpoint. Animals occupy the left-centre third; the right is open sedge meadow, shallow still water and willow scrub fading into pale mist and distant spruce. Soft flat overcast daylight, natural muted colours of brown fur, olive sedge and grey sky, believable exposure, accurate anatomy, realistic coarse fur with damp texture, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Unposed and observational. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
