Authentic nature macro photograph, 16:9 landscape. A single wild red mason bee rests on the tightly curled, lime-green tip of a young fern frond in a damp hedgerow, photographed from a low side-on angle at close range. Fine hairs on her thorax and face are dusted with a little pollen; her eyes and antennae are crisp. Soft, flat overcast daylight, no harsh shadows. Near-monochrome palette of muted sage, moss and deep green, with the lime fern tip as the single accent. Bee on the left third, a smooth blurred green background filling the space to the right. 100mm macro lens, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain, natural exposure, accurate insect anatomy. Quiet, intimate documentary feel. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
