Authentic macro nature photograph, landscape 5:3. A weathered grey stone on a damp upland moor, its surface crusted with pale green and orange-grey lichen. A narrow crack runs diagonally across the frame, and from it a tiny cushion of fresh green moss with a few beaded water droplets pushes outward. The moss is the sharp focal point in the left third. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, no harsh shadows, natural muted colours, believable exposure. 100mm macro lens, low angle, shallow depth of field with the stone and heather softly blurred to the right, subtle sensor grain. Quiet documentary feel. No people, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
