Authentic nature photograph, landscape 1.85:1. Close study of a single lady's mantle leaf in a damp garden border after rain, pleated and scalloped, holding one large clear dewdrop at its centre with a ring of tiny beads along the edge. Leaf placed in the left third, a soft out-of-focus carpet of green foliage and dark soil filling the right. Low camera angle, 105mm macro lens, shallow depth of field, crisp focus on the main droplet showing a tiny inverted reflection of the grey sky. Flat overcast daylight, natural fresh greens with cool grey highlights, subtle sensor grain, quiet documentary feel. No people, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
