Authentic wildlife photograph, 16:9 landscape. Two wild ibises with dark glossy plumage and a faint bronze sheen stand side by side in shallow wetland water, one gently nibbling and preening the other's neck feathers, curved bills and slender legs accurately rendered, soft ripples around their legs. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, natural muted colours, pewter water, pale straw reeds blurred behind. Pair placed in the right third, open calm water on the left. 500mm telephoto from a distance, eye-level with the birds, shallow depth of field, fine feather detail, subtle sensor grain, believable exposure. Quiet, tender, observational documentary mood. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
