Authentic wildlife photograph, near-square 5:6 portrait frame. A single wild humpback whale partially breaching from a calm grey-green sea, head and pleated throat angled up, one long white-edged pectoral fin streaming water, barnacle scars and knobbly tubercles on the snout accurate. Shot from a distance with a 400mm telephoto lens from a boat, slightly low viewpoint, whale in the lower-middle of the frame with open pearly overcast sky and quiet water above. Soft flat diffuse light, natural muted colours with faint warm tones on the wet skin, believable exposure, fine spray droplets frozen, subtle sensor grain. Quiet observational documentary feel. No people, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
