An editorial cinematic photograph of a puma lying calmly on an athletics running track, its muscular body relaxed, head raised, alert but composed. A modern stadium track with a red rubber surface, white lane markings clearly visible, empty stands in the background create a strong contrast between the wild animal and the controlled sports environment. The camera is low to the ground, close to eye level with the puma, using a Canon 85mm f1.8 lens, with shallow depth of field and off-center framing. Natural daylight casts soft directional light, with subtle shadows under the body and highlights gently rolling over the fur texture. Realism includes detailed fur strands, visible whiskers, and paw pads resting on the track surface, with fine dust on the rubber. There is minimal movement, creating tension through stillness. Photographic imperfections include fine grain, slight focus falloff toward the edges, and automatic white balance slightly warm.
