Authentic wildlife photograph, landscape 4:3. A single wild beluga whale surfaces in a calm, cold grey-green Arctic bay, its pale cream-white back and rounded melon just breaking the water, a small plume of mist at the blowhole. Gentle wavy ripples form regular soft stripes across the water surface, spreading from the whale. Distant low, misty shoreline barely visible at the horizon. Soft flat overcast daylight, natural muted colours, believable exposure, accurate anatomy, wet skin with subtle texture. Shot from a respectful distance with a 400mm telephoto lens, slightly elevated viewpoint, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Whale placed on the left third, generous calm open water to the right. Quiet observational documentary mood. No people, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
