Authentic nature photograph, square 1:1. Looking straight down into a shallow wild marsh pool, a single large tadpole hangs just beneath the surface, slightly off-centre, its mottled olive-brown body, translucent tail fin with dark speckles and visible gut spiral rendered in accurate detail. Both hind legs are partly formed. Tea-brown water with a soft pale-grey sky reflection, one small alder leaf floating at the upper left, a few fine strands of pondweed blurred at the edges. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, no hard shadows, no glare. Slightly angled polarised look, 90mm macro lens, shallow depth of field with crisp focus on the eye and body, subtle sensor grain, natural muted colours, quiet observational documentary feel. Free-living wildlife, no people, no props. No text, no logos, no watermarks.
