Authentic wildlife photograph, square 1:1. A single free-living Eurasian oystercatcher with black and white plumage and orange bill stands on a wet, dark pebble and seaweed shoreline, head turned into the wind, breast feathers slightly ruffled. Behind it a grey-green wave breaks into white foam under a heavy, brooding overcast sky. Soft diffuse daylight, no hard shadows, natural muted colours, believable exposure. Shot on a 400mm telephoto from a low viewpoint at the bird's eye level, shallow depth of field, bird sharp, surf softly blurred, subtle sensor grain. Bird placed off-centre in the lower half, open shore and sky around it. Quiet observational documentary look. No people, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
