Hyperrealistic documentary editorial photograph, landscape 4:3. From an accessible terminal rooftop, look obliquely down at one small two-deck coastal commuter ferry departing diagonally toward the upper right. Its blunt bow and forward cabin have entered warm afternoon sunlight while its stern remains inside the broad angular shadow cast by the terminal behind the camera. A short turbulent wake records the departure. White painted steel, navy lower hull, practical railings, dark cabin windows and restrained working wear; no visible passengers. Wind-ruffled harbor water fills the frame, with generous open water ahead and only a narrow quay edge at lower left. The shadow boundary is naturally broken by small waves, not a perfect graphic line. Elevated 50mm viewpoint, sufficient depth of field for the whole vessel, controlled white-paint highlights, realistic water reflections and subtle editorial grading. A believable everyday crossing, not a staged spectacle. No text, logos or watermarks.
