Flat-Coated Retriever on Window Seat at Dawn

A Flat-Coated Retriever lies stretched across a narrow wooden window seat inside a quiet apartment in Fuzhou. The dog's deep black coat gleams with a subtle sheen, defined by the soft side light filtering through the glass. Neon signs from the street outside cast faint blue and violet reflections on the wet floorboards and the dog's muzzle. Late autumn air is visible as dust motes drift in the shafts of light cutting through the room. The minimalist composition frames the animal against a plain wall, showing the texture of its fur and the shape of its ears. A brass latch on the window frame catches a small glint of the morning light.
