Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, vertical 4:5. A single wild blue whale surfaces in a calm open ocean, its long blue-grey mottled back and small dorsal fin just breaking the water, a soft fading blow of mist hanging above it. Shot from a respectful distance on a long telephoto lens, slightly low viewpoint, whale in the lower third, a wide tall expanse of pale grey overcast sky and glassy swell above. Soft diffuse overcast light, natural muted colours, accurate anatomy, wet skin texture, gentle ripples and a faint reflection, subtle sensor grain, believable exposure. Quiet, solemn, still. No people, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
