Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, landscape 8:5. A single minke whale surfacing in calm coastal water, only its smooth dark grey arched back, small curved dorsal fin and a faint exhaled mist visible, placed in the right third of the frame with soft concentric ripples spreading around it. Shot from a distance with a long telephoto lens at a low viewpoint just above the waterline, shallow compression of depth. Soft overcast daylight, flat diffuse light, believable exposure, natural colours of slate grey and pale sage-green water, a faint far headland of fresh spring-green grass dissolving into light mist, pale pearl sky with plenty of empty space. Subtle sensor grain, accurate anatomy, quiet observational mood. No people, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
