Contemporary editorial photograph, 4:5 portrait. One low, spreading juniper shrub rooted beside a plain pale-grey concrete retaining wall after fresh snowfall. Show its entire irregular crown and base, with clear space around every outer branch. Dark muted green foliage makes a broad, slightly off-centre silhouette in the lower half; thin, uneven shelves of snow rest on upper boughs while lower foliage remains exposed. Unbroken snow covers the ground. Photograph from shrub height with a 50mm lens, nearly straight on, keeping the plant and wall naturally resolved. Soft overcast daylight, with snow-reflected fill revealing the shaded foliage; realistic exposure preserving detail in the whites. Generous empty wall above, subtle concrete variation, natural winter colour. Quiet and observational, not staged or theatrical. No people, props, artificial blur, added grain or HDR. No text, logos or watermarks.
