Authentic nature photograph, landscape 5:3. Very low camera position at the muddy edge of an oxbow lake in a river floodplain, wide-angle lens close to the ground so tall wet green and straw-coloured reeds rise dramatically in the foreground and the still pewter water curves away in a crescent toward distant willows and pale meadow. Two reed stems lean together in the near foreground, and two soft overlapping ripple rings spread on the water beside them. Soft flat overcast daylight, natural muted colours, believable exposure, deep depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Quiet observational documentary feel. No people, no animals, no text, no logos.
