A lone osprey stands on a barnacle-crusted rock at the water's edge, wings folded, whole in profile. Luminous sea and sky glow in natural light behind it, while gentle blue-green water moves around the stone. The horizon stays bright and clean, gulls absent, leaving the bird alone with its talon grip on the rock.
