Small 640×427, Medium 1200×800
Authentic documentary nature photograph, 3:2 landscape. A braided river gravel bed seen from a low angle at the water's edge: a pale shingle bar of rounded grey, ochre and slate pebbles runs diagonally across the frame, dividing two thin channels of clear shallow water that ripple faintly over sorted stones. Sharp stones in the foreground fall softly out of focus toward a distant bare bank with sparse willow scrub and a pale sky. Flat, diffuse overcast daylight, no harsh shadows, cool restrained natural colours, muted blue-grey tones, stark and quiet. 35mm lens, f/8, subtle sensor grain, believable exposure. No animals, no people, no text, no logos.
