Authentic documentary nature photograph, square 1:1. A natural sea arch of dark layered rock at the end of a narrow rocky spit, seen side-on from a low position on the wet rock shelf, set off-centre to the right with open grey sea filling the left. A smooth dark swell gathers at the arch mouth, about to surge through but not yet breaking, thin foam lines on the water. Dark tunnel opening, barnacles and a few strands of kelp on the foreground rock, damp sheen. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, no harsh shadows, natural muted colours of slate, charcoal, pewter and faint olive lichen, believable exposure, no HDR. 50mm lens, moderate depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Heavy pale cloud above, with a low horizon. Restrained, watchful, quiet. No people, no animals, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
