Authentic nature photograph, vertical 3:5 portrait. A single wild impala stands in profile at the edge of a wet African floodplain, head raised and ears turned forward, listening. Shot from a long distance with a 400mm telephoto lens from a low viewpoint, so pale out-of-focus grass seed heads blur softly across the lower foreground. The animal sits in the middle third of the frame with accurate anatomy, short sleek russet coat, white belly and fine black markings on its rump, lyre-shaped horns. Behind it, damp green-buff grassland fades into soft grey mist and a pale, even overcast sky with generous empty space above. Soft diffuse daylight, natural colours, believable exposure, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Calm, quiet, observational documentary feel. No people, no text, no logos.
