Authentic wildlife photograph, vertical 4:5. A single wild golden eagle on a wet, tussocky upland slope, mantling with wings half-spread and drooped over a hare it has just caught, talons gripping, head raised and turned sharply to watch something beyond the frame, intense eye. Shot with a 500mm telephoto from a long distance at slightly low eye level, shallow depth of field, soft blurred heather and grey hillside behind. Flat overcast daylight, natural muted colours: dark brown plumage with a golden nape, russet heather, faded green-brown grass, pale grey sky. Accurate anatomy, fine feather and fur detail, subtle sensor grain, quiet documentary feel with a tense moment. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
