Deer in Misty Autumn Meadow

Deer standing slightly off-center in a misty autumn meadow at sunrise, framed for a portrait-oriented wildlife photograph with the deer looking toward the viewer and intended for fine-art print or editorial use. The deer's fur shows short, dense winter undercoat with longer guard hairs, subtle wetness from morning dew on the muzzle, and soft texture transitions at the ears and neck; tall grass blades are slender and slightly curled with visible seed heads and light edge wear, and distant tree canopies show layered orange foliage with sparse branch silhouettes. Eyes and face are tack-sharp and on the focus plane with preserved natural skin and fur texture; maintain a shallow depth of field that renders the background into a soft, creamy blur while keeping a stable silhouette and no motion blur on the deer. Soft, diffuse sunrise from low behind-left creates long, gentle shadows across the meadow and a warm rim along the deer's back, with cool, pale mist fill in the midground; map the dominant warm-neutrals to the grass and fur, golden-yellow to highlights and sunlit blades, and pale-misty-gray to the haze and distant tree gaps, keeping moderate contrast and preserved highlight detail. Open meadow environment with rolling shallow depth cues, low-lying morning mist hugging the ground, and distant trees with orange foliage forming a soft backdrop; include a single dew-covered blade of grass in the immediate foreground and a small flattened grass patch as props to reinforce scale and timing. Eye-level vantage with a short-tele portrait perspective, crop at roughly 70% vertical framing to favor the deer while leaving negative space above; place the deer near the left third intersection using leading lines from angled grass clumps toward the subject and a low horizon to emphasize vertical grass rhythm. Photograph style, naturalistic wildlife craft with creamy background bokeh, gentle film-like micro-contrast, accurate fur micro-detail and natural color metamerism; avoid stylized brushwork or painterly textures and favor optical lens character over digital artifacts. No visible text required; hard avoids: no humans, no animals other than the deer, no logos, no high saturation or neon colors, no harsh specular highlights, and no motion blur on the face.
