Authentic documentary nature photograph, 5:6 near-square frame. A still alpine lake in a high rocky cirque, water a muted slate-green with faint ripples and soft reflections of grey scree slopes. In the lower left foreground a lone gnarled dwarf pine grows from a stony promontory among lichen-covered boulders and tufts of alpine grass. Distant ridgelines fade into low cloud. Slight dutch tilt of a few degrees, horizon leaning gently. Flat overcast diffuse light, natural muted colours, believable exposure, 35mm lens, moderate depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Quiet, solitary, observational. No people, no animals, no text, no logos.
