Authentic nature photograph, vertical 2:3. A single wild grey heron stands upright and still in a few centimetres of calm shallow water at the edge of a river shingle bar, seen in profile from a low viewpoint near water level. Its pale grey back, white neck with fine dark streaks and black head plume are sharp with accurate feather detail. A soft, near-perfect reflection fills the lower frame. Background of reeds and willow dissolves into pale grey mist. Flat, soft overcast daylight, muted natural colours of silver grey, sage and stone. 400mm telephoto lens, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain, quiet documentary feel, generous calm space above the bird. No people, no text, no logos.
