Orca Breath in Grey Light
A lone orca surfaces in calm grey open water, its breath hanging as a pale mist under a flat overcast sky.

Authentic wildlife photograph, vertical 9:16. A single wild orca surfaces in calm, cold grey-green open sea, shot from a boat at a respectful distance with a 400mm telephoto lens. Only the glossy black back, tall dorsal fin and a hint of the white eye patch are visible as it exhales, a soft cloud of breath mist drifting above the water. Orca placed in the lower third, with a large area of pale overcast sky and a distant misty horizon above. Soft diffuse overcast light, natural muted colours, believable exposure, fine water droplets, subtle ripples, slight sensor grain, shallow depth of field. Quiet documentary mood. No people, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
