Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, vertical 3:4. A single wild wildebeest stands on a muddy riverbank on the African savanna, head raised, ears forward, body taut as it hesitates before a river crossing during migration. Churning brown-grey water below, trampled hoof prints in the mud, dry golden grass behind. Seen in profile-three-quarter from a respectful distance, shot on a 400mm telephoto lens at eye level with shallow depth of field and a softly blurred background. Flat overcast daylight, muted natural colours, realistic coat texture and accurate anatomy, subtle sensor grain. Quiet, tense, observational. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
