Quiet documentary photograph, portrait 4:5, overhead close view of an undisturbed woodland floor. One broad russet fallen leaf lies diagonally across dark damp soil, its softened edges breaking down into the earth. A tiny fresh green shoot with two leaves emerges through an irregular tear near its centre: the clear focal point, showing new growth amid decomposition. Keep the leaf recognisable, with uneven brown patches and a few visible veins rather than elaborate lacework. Sparse surrounding leaf fragments, uncluttered upper margin of dark earth. Available light from an overcast sky just before nightfall, gently cool but naturally coloured, realistic exposure retaining the green shoot and brown leaf. A 60mm close-focus lens, enough depth of field to resolve the shoot and leaf together. Observed rather than arranged, no artificial glow, no exaggerated texture, no added grain. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
