Authentic nature photograph, vertical 3:4 portrait. A single wild adult skink with smooth glossy bronze-brown scales lies on a lichen-dusted, moss-streaked fallen log in damp woodland, head slightly raised, while a tiny juvenile skink rests tucked against its flank. Camera at a slightly elevated angle, short distance away, 200mm telephoto look with shallow depth of field: the skinks and bark crisp, leaf litter and ferns softly blurred behind. Soft flat overcast daylight, natural muted greens, browns and grey, accurate anatomy, fine scale detail, subtle sensor grain. Skinks in the lower-middle of the frame, calm blurred woodland above. Quiet observational documentary treatment. No people, no props, no text, no logos.
