Authentic nature photograph, square 1:1. A single wild grey heron in slow low flight over a misty wetland reed bed, broad wings raised mid-beat, neck folded back, legs trailing, viewed from the side at a distance and placed slightly off-centre. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, no hard shadows, natural muted colours of slate grey, pale reed gold and soft green. Pale mist hangs over still water below, with the background softly blurred. 400mm telephoto lens, shallow depth of field, sharp detail in feathers, subtle sensor grain, believable exposure. Quiet observational documentary mood, gently dreamy. Open space around the bird. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
