Authentic wildlife photograph, square 1:1 frame. Close observation of a single grey heron in profile, framed from the chest up, standing on a reed-lined bank of a calm stream. Its neck is gently curved and poised, with long black head plumes trailing behind, a pale streaked white neck, a yellow-orange dagger bill and an amber eye. Grey-blue shoulder feathers show fine barbs and soft damp texture. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, no hard shadows, natural muted greys, soft greens and a pale silver sky. Out-of-focus reeds and water behind. 500mm telephoto lens, shallow depth of field, accurate anatomy, believable exposure, subtle sensor grain. Quiet, refined documentary mood. No people, no text, no logos.
