Authentic wildlife photograph, 9:16 vertical, quiet documentary style. A single wild Dalmatian pelican stands in shallow water at the edge of a misty lagoon, seen in profile from a respectful distance, bill resting down against its chest, curly grey-white crest feathers ruffled and slightly untidy, giving it a solemn, quizzical look. Accurate pelican anatomy, detailed layered feathers in soft silvery white, pale orange-pink bill pouch, dark eye. Pelican in the lower-middle of the frame, its reflection in calm pewter water, pale reeds on one side, faint mist and a hazy far shore above, open grey sky space. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, no hard shadows, natural muted colours, 400mm telephoto lens, eye level, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
