Authentic nature photograph, vertical 9:16. A wild brown rat sits upright on a lichen-dappled flat stone at the base of an old moss-streaked stone bridge pier beside a slow river, front paws raised to its whiskers in a tidy grooming moment. Shot from a low, slightly distant viewpoint with a 300mm telephoto lens, shallow depth of field, rat in the lower third, the weathered stone pier and arch softly blurred rising above with calm space. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, natural muted colours of sage, slate grey and warm brown, realistic fur with fine whisker detail, accurate anatomy, subtle sensor grain. Quiet observational documentary feel. No people, no props, no text, no logos.
