A cooled lava flow fills the frame, its surface pulled into thousands of tight ropy coils, iridescent blue and bronze where the crust is thin. Every coil held sharp. One figure alone in ochre picks across it, tiny. Hard low sun from the right. crystal-clear air, no haze, hard high sun, very high contrast with deep black shadow present, no grain. full rich colour across the whole frame with every surface carrying its own real hue, but nothing pushed to maximum intensity and nothing neon or electric, colour deep and true rather than bright, highlights clean and small with no blown-out white areas, deep shadow present
