Authentic macro nature photograph, square 1:1. A single young fern fiddlehead, tightly coiled, covered in fine pale-brown hairs and beaded with tiny dew drops, rises from damp leaf litter and moss in a wild temperate woodland. The spiral sits slightly off-centre with the stem curving gently into the frame. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, no harsh shadows, natural muted greens, olive and soft brown tones. 100mm macro lens, shallow depth of field, creamy blurred green background, subtle sensor grain, believable exposure. Quiet observational documentary feel, calm and restful. No people, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
