Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, vertical 2:3. A single wild common dolphin surfaces in open coastal sea, only its dark wet back, rounded head and curved dorsal fin showing, placed in the lower third of the frame. Gentle concentric ripples spread across a calm pewter-grey surface, with a faint soft horizon and pale silver overcast sky filling the upper two thirds as quiet empty space. Flat diffuse overcast light, natural muted slate, steel-blue and soft grey tones, beads of water on glossy skin, accurate anatomy. Shot from a boat at a respectful distance with a 400mm telephoto lens, eye level to the water, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Solemn, still, solitary. No people, no boats, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
