The Prompt
A pod of dolphins arcs out of rolling ocean swells at sunrise, bodies glinting silver-pink in the first light before slicing back into the turquoise water with bursts of spray. Vertical 9:16, 70mm lens, camera holds at wave height with a smooth pan following the pod's path. Dolphins leap in sequence, spray erupts and catches the light, the lead dolphin's wake trails white foam, the sun climbs and gilds each wave crest. Mood is exhilarating and free, palette of dawn pink, deep teal and sparkling white. Photorealistic marine cinematography, natural dolphin motion physics, crisp 8K detail on water and skin, vertical framing with the horizon high.
