Monochrome River Framed by Leaves: Urban-Nature Balance

Black and white photograph of a river landscape that blends urban and natural elements. Foreground features detailed leaves and branches that frame the scene, crisp and close to the viewer. The river winds through the middle ground, its surface a mirror of light and shadow with subtle ripples and reflections. On the left, the city skyline rises with glass towers and a modern bridge; on the right, a tree-lined bank and a distant park lead toward rolling hills. The composition uses the rule of thirds and a strong leading line along the river. Lighting is high-contrast, with deep blacks and bright whites, like silver gelatin film, including subtle film grain. Shoot with a 50mm lens, in monochrome, with shallow depth of field so the foreground frame remains sharp while background cityscape and landscape soften slightly to convey depth. Mood: contemplative, timeless, documenting the coexistence of urban life and nature.
