Stay behind viewing boundaries and never block a route to the water. Expose for the face and keep enough space for the wave to shape the composition.
Before making the frame, study the light, the animal’s behavior and the habitat around it. Keep a respectful distance, work with the conditions available, and let the scene develop naturally rather than forcing an encounter.
Photograph with care
Use the image to tell a truthful story about wildlife and place. Check local guidance, avoid disturbing animals, and include enough context for readers to understand the environment. A considered photograph values the subject as much as the final frame.
