A breathtaking photographic image features the words 'OVER WATERING' rendered as crisp, highly legible lawn-textured typography. The letters are lush green, subtly adorned with tiny, delicate Western Australian wildflowers (purple, white, and yellow blooms). The typography is perfectly centered and in razor-sharp focus, contrasting with an extremely shallow depth of field that creates a spectacular, creamy bokeh in the foreground and background. The setting is a waterlogged, sick-looking garden where the diverse native flora is wilted, yellowing, or drooping from root rot, visually representing the negative effects of overwatering. Golden hour sunlight pours from behind the text, creating a beautiful rim-light on the letters and producing soft sun flares and glowing circular bokeh lights in the blurred distance. The overall aesthetic is a striking, yet somber, visual contradiction that immediately draws the eye to the central message of 'OVER WATERING'.

The setting is a waterwise native garden in full bloom, with a clear separation between the letters and the diverse surrounding foliage. The image has an extremely shallow depth of field, creating a spectacular, creamy bokeh effect in the foreground and background. Golden hour sunlight streams from behind the typography, producing a beautiful rim-light, glowing sun flares, and circular bokeh lights, emphasizing the ethereal and vibrant aesthetic.
