Authentic quiet documentary wildlife photograph, landscape 8:5. A single wild grey seal lies resting on a wet, dark rock shelf at low tide, body gently curved, eyes closed, whiskers beaded with mist, mottled silver-grey fur damp and realistic. Strands of brown kelp and barnacled rock around it, a few shallow tide pools reflecting the pale sky. Photographed from a respectful distance and low viewpoint, seal placed in the left third, a calm flat grey sea and a soft pale horizon filling the right with open space. Soft diffuse overcast daylight, natural muted colours of slate, olive kelp and silver, believable exposure, accurate anatomy. 400mm telephoto lens, moderate depth of field, gentle background blur, subtle sensor grain. Peaceful, restorative stillness. No people, no text, no logos.
