Authentic underwater wildlife photograph, 1:1 square. A single wild European eel in clean side profile, olive-brown back fading to a pale yellow-cream belly, small eye and thin pectoral fin accurately rendered, body in a slow S-curve as it glides just above a pale sandy riverbed with scattered dark pebbles and a few wavering strands of water weed. Cold grey-green water, slightly turbid, fading to murky dark at the edges and distance. Soft overcast daylight diffuses evenly from the surface with no hard caustics. Shot with a waterproof camera and 35mm lens at eye level with the eel, natural shallow depth of field, believable exposure, subtle sensor grain. Quiet, detached, enigmatic documentary feel. No people, no text, no logos.
