Silver Veins of the Salt Marsh

A top-down aerial photograph of a pristine coastal salt marsh at low tide: one broad silver-blue tidal creek branches into fine dark channels through rust-red and muted sage vegetation. No road, bridge, buildings or people. The channels form an asymmetrical sweeping S, natural irregularities and believable sediment edges, soft morning light, delicate color separation, fine landscape photography rather than satellite illustration. Create one single finished photograph, aspect ratio 16:9. No collage, no lettering, no logos, no watermark. Original composition; photorealistic materials, natural proportions, controlled highlights and detailed shadows.
