Authentic nature photograph, landscape 8:5, quiet documentary style. A wild smooth newt with olive-brown skin, pale orange belly and faint dark spots sits half out of the water on a wet muddy bank of a woodland pond, forelimb pressing a torn strand of green pondweed into a small gap among moss and roots, head angled down with calm determination. Soft diffuse overcast daylight, natural muted greens and browns, beads of water on skin. Low viewpoint at the newt's eye level, 200mm lens, shallow depth of field, newt placed off-centre with soft blurred pond and ferns extending to the side, subtle sensor grain, believable exposure, accurate anatomy. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
