Authentic documentary wildlife photograph, landscape 5:4. A single free-living humpback whale breaching, about two thirds of its body angled up out of a slate-grey sea, water sheeting off its barnacled pectoral fin and flanks, photographed from a respectful distance with a long telephoto lens. Flat overcast daylight, soft shadowless light, a pale grey sky with a faint rose tint at the low horizon, deep navy-slate water, fine spray in the air with only the faintest natural colour fringing. Distant rocky headland with muted mustard lichen at the far edge. Open space of sea and sky around the whale. Natural colours, believable exposure, accurate anatomy, subtle sensor grain, quiet observational feel. No people, no boats, no props, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
