Authentic wildlife photograph, 16:9 landscape, quiet documentary style. A single wild spotted salamander, black with yellow spots, rests on a fallen copper-brown beech leaf at the damp edge of a shallow woodland stream, head slightly raised, looking toward the water. Ground-level viewpoint from a respectful distance, the animal placed in the left third, the right side opening to soft blurred stream, wet stones and moss fading into misty beech forest. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, natural colours, moist glistening skin, accurate anatomy, 300mm telephoto look with shallow depth of field and subtle sensor grain. No people, no props, no text, no logos.
