Authentic nature photograph, vertical 9:16. A free-living wild brown rat crouches on a moss-covered stone at a muddy riverbank, placed off center in the lower-left third, one forepaw lifted toward a small yellow-green leaf drifting on the shallow water. Realistic wet fur with fine guard hairs, accurate anatomy, bright dark eye, pink translucent ears. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, no hard shadows, natural muted greens, browns and grey water. Background of reeds and bank grass softly out of focus above and to the right, leaving calm open space. 300mm telephoto lens at low eye level, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Quiet documentary mood with a hint of playfulness. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
