Authentic nature photograph, vertical 4:5. A single male stag beetle with glossy chestnut-black wing cases and large antler-like mandibles walks steadily along the top of a moss-covered fallen oak log in damp deciduous woodland. Low side-on viewpoint at beetle level, the beetle in the lower third, head pointing toward open space. Soft overcast daylight, natural muted greens, browns and rust, fine moss and bark texture, a few tiny dew drops. Blurred woodland background of tree trunks and ferns melting into creamy bokeh. 100mm macro lens, shallow depth of field, accurate insect anatomy, subtle sensor grain, believable exposure. Quiet documentary mood. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
