Authentic underwater nature photograph, landscape 5:4. A single wild grayling in clean side profile, body arched and angled upward as it rises to take a tiny mayfly drifting just under the surface, its tall sail-like dorsal fin fully spread, silvery-violet flanks with faint dark spots. Clear, cold chalk-stream water with a pale gravel bed and swaying green water-crowfoot streaming in the current. Soft overcast daylight filters evenly through the surface, no hard sun rays, with a muted silvery-green palette and natural colours. Fish sits slightly left of centre with open water ahead. Shot with a low-angle underwater housing, 35mm lens, shallow depth of field, fine suspended particles, subtle sensor grain. Quiet documentary feel. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
