Authentic wildlife photograph, 16:9 landscape. A single sooty shearwater glides low over a long grey-green ocean swell, stiff narrow wings held wide, one wingtip skimming just above the water, seen from a low viewpoint at a respectful distance. The bird sits in the left third, small against a vast empty seascape, with space to the right toward a soft, hazy horizon. Flat overcast diffuse light, windswept wave tops with fine spray streaks, muted slate, pewter and olive-grey natural colours. Telephoto lens, shallow depth of field, accurate plumage and anatomy, subtle sensor grain, quiet observational documentary feel. No people, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
