Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, 16:9 landscape. A single fire salamander with glossy black skin and irregular yellow markings rests motionless on dark wet beech leaf litter beside a moss-covered log, placed in the left third of the frame, accurate amphibian anatomy, moist skin with soft highlights. Beech forest floor stretches to the right with ferns and thin trunks melting into a soft grey-green blur. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, no harsh shadows, natural muted colours, believable exposure. Shot at a low ground-level angle on a 200mm telephoto lens, f/4, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Quiet, solemn, solitary stillness. No people, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
