Authentic nature photograph, square 1:1. A single wild female house sparrow dust-bathing in a shallow hollow of fine dry brown soil at the base of a garden hedge, feathers softly puffed, one wing slightly lifted, a few fine dust grains hanging in the air. Low ground-level viewpoint, 400mm telephoto from a respectful distance, shallow depth of field with the foreground soil and hedge stems melting into soft green and brown blur. Soft flat overcast daylight, natural muted colours of buff, warm brown and olive, accurate feather detail and anatomy, subtle sensor grain. Quiet observational documentary mood, peaceful. No people, no props, no text, no logos.
