Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, vertical 2:3. A single wild white-tailed eagle perches on a wet, lichen-flecked boulder at a quiet river edge after rain, seen from a low bank at a respectful distance in a three-quarter view, head turned slightly aside. Water beads on its dark brown feathers, and warm golden-brown tones show through the damp plumage; its pale yellow bill and pebbled, scaly yellow legs are sharply detailed. Soft diffuse overcast light, natural colours, thin mist over the slow grey water and out-of-focus reeds behind, with calm empty space above the bird. 400mm telephoto lens, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain, accurate anatomy and realistic feathers. Still, fresh, restorative mood. No people, no text, no logos.
