Authentic black and white wildlife photograph, square 1:1. A wild great spotted woodpecker clings vertically to a silver birch trunk, body half hidden behind the trunk edge, head turned to peer round it, tail feathers braced against the bark. Soft overcast diffuse light, subtle tonal range from pale birch to deep charcoal, fine pied wing pattern, accurate feather detail, lichen and peeling bark texture. Misty out-of-focus woodland behind, generous quiet space on the left. 400mm telephoto lens from a respectful distance, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Understated, elegant, observational. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
