Delicate Black-and-White Branches Against Soft Blur

Stunning black and white photograph of delicate plant branches, slender stems with tiny buds, in sharp focus against a softly blurred background. High-contrast grayscale with rich textures on bark and leaf scars, light from the side to create gentle shadows and highlight fine lines. Shallow depth of field around f/2.8 captured with a 50mm lens, low ISO for minimal grain and a smooth tonal range. Minimalist composition with branches angled diagonally across the frame, leaving generous negative space to emphasize fragility and grace. The mood is serene and contemplative, like a silver gelatin print.
