Authentic wildlife photograph, square 1:1 frame. A single grey heron stands motionless in shallow water at the edge of a misty lake, seen wide from a distance, full body visible, slightly below the centre of the frame with generous empty space of pale grey water and fog around it. Its neck is stretched upright and angular, grey-blue back, white neck with fine dark streaks, yellow bill, thin legs mirrored faintly in the still surface. Distant reeds fade into mist. Soft overcast daylight, flat natural exposure, cool muted blue-grey and silver tones. Shot on a 300mm telephoto lens, optically plausible shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Quiet, detached documentary mood. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
