Authentic wildlife photograph, 4:3 landscape. A single wild humpback whale resting at the surface of a calm open sea, seen from a high oblique angle at a respectful distance: the long pale pectoral fin with scalloped edge and barnacle scars lies spread on the water beside the dark, wet back, which fades into green-grey depth. Faint smooth rings and a thin sheen of water around the fin. Whale placed off-centre in the lower left, generous open water to the right. Soft flat overcast daylight, no harsh shadows, muted slate, teal and pearl-white natural colours, believable exposure, subtle sensor grain, moderate depth of field, 300mm telephoto compression. Accurate anatomy, quiet observational documentary mood. No people, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
