Authentic nature photograph, vertical 3:5 portrait, quiet documentary style. A wild fire salamander with glossy black skin and irregular bright yellow patches walks slowly across a dark, rain-wet slate outcrop in a beech woodland, seen from a high, near top-down angle. Its head is lifted and turned slightly, body curving diagonally through the lower third of the frame. A single copper beech leaf and a few tufts of green moss lie beside it. The slate rises and recedes into soft grey-green blur above, leaving calm open space. Soft diffuse overcast daylight, natural colours, believable exposure, accurate amphibian anatomy with moist skin sheen, 100mm lens, f/4, subtle sensor grain. No people, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
