Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, landscape 8:5. A single wild common dolphin surfacing at sea, only its glistening back, dorsal fin and part of its head visible, a thin ring of ripples spreading around it. Placed off-centre in the left third, shot from a low angle just above the waterline with a 300mm telephoto lens, moderate distance. Flat pewter-grey sea with a gentle swell, a faint misty rocky headland dissolving into the horizon, pale overcast sky. Soft diffuse light, natural muted colours, accurate anatomy, wet skin sheen, subtle sensor grain, shallow depth of field. Quiet, restrained, slightly mysterious mood with generous empty space. No people, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
