Authentic quiet documentary wildlife photograph, 6:5 slightly wide landscape. A single wild brown rat sits motionless in side profile on a bank of dry oak leaf litter and pale sedge beside a narrow woodland stream, placed left of centre, head slightly lowered, grooming one forepaw. Seen at eye level from a respectful distance, with a 300mm telephoto lens and shallow depth of field. Behind it, soft blurred dark water, mossy stones and bare hazel stems fade into grey-green haze. Soft diffuse overcast daylight, natural muted colours with warm ochre, faded olive and umber tones, believable exposure, subtle sensor grain. Realistic damp fur, fine whiskers, accurate anatomy. Calm, reflective mood. No people, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
