Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, vertical 4:5. A wild black woodpecker with a red crown clings to a weathered grey beech snag beside a half-excavated oval nest cavity, its rim still ragged with fresh pale wood. The bird holds still, head turned, one wary eye toward the camera, tail pressed against the bark in a guarded pose. Pale wood chips scatter across moss at the base of the trunk. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, natural muted colours, believable exposure. 400mm telephoto from a respectful distance, slightly low angle, shallow depth of field with soft green-grey woodland blur, accurate feather detail, subtle sensor grain. No people, no text, no logos.
