Authentic wildlife documentary photograph, 6:5 near-square landscape frame. A single wild harbour porpoise surfaces in a calm grey-green sea, small dark back and short triangular dorsal fin just breaking the water, a soft ring of ripples and a thin trail of water streaming off its skin. Fine rain dimples the surface across the whole frame. Shot from a boat or headland with a 400mm telephoto lens, slightly elevated viewpoint, porpoise placed in the lower left third with generous open water around it. A faint misty rocky headland fades into the pale sky on the horizon. Soft diffuse overcast light, muted slate, silver and olive tones, natural colour, believable exposure, subtle sensor grain, accurate anatomy. Quiet, observational, rooted in place. No people, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
