Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, vertical 2:3. A wild common nightingale, russet-brown back, paler buff underparts, rufous tail, mid-hop as it meanders across damp leaf litter in the lower third of the frame, head turned slightly as it searches for insects. In the foreground and upper frame, several overlapping translucent hazel leaves, softly out of focus and beaded with rain, form transparent repeated layers in muted green and amber. Flat soft overcast daylight, natural colours, believable exposure, accurate feather detail, shallow depth of field, 400mm telephoto from a respectful distance, subtle sensor grain. Quiet, still, expectant mood. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
