Authentic nature photograph, vertical 4:5, quiet documentary style. A single common knapweed seed head on a slender stem, its dry brown bracts curled inward and closing over the seeds, beaded with fine droplets of damp. Close, low-angle view in a wild meadow edge, soft out-of-focus green and straw-coloured grasses behind, calm empty space above the subject. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, natural muted colours, believable exposure, 105mm lens, shallow depth of field, crisp detail on the bracts, subtle sensor texture. Still, restorative, observational. No people, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
