A giant humpback whale tail breaching a mirror-still ocean generates an iconic wildlife moment against an evening horizon.

High contrast between the wet fluke and the pastel sunset keeps the focal point instantly readable.

Swaps the humpback fluke for an iconic orca dorsal fin while retaining the peaceful open-ocean scale.

Keep the aspect ratio at 16:9 to give the panoramic horizon plenty of breathing room on either side of the tail. High quality mode is vital for rendering crisp individual water drops and smooth gradient banding in the sky. If you reformat this scene for a vertical phone screen, switch the ratio to 9:16 and ensure the whale tail is positioned lower in the frame.
Add the phrase 'high-speed shutter freezing individual water droplets' to the prompt. This instructs GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst to render distinct beads of water rather than smooth motion blur.
Image models frequently bunch subjects together. Reinforce separation by describing the boat as 'a tiny distant speck on the far horizon' so the model pushes it deep into the background plane.
Yes, replace 'tail rising out of a calm sea' with 'full humpback whale breaching out of the water'. Remember to change 'calm sea' to 'dramatic foaming surface splash' so the water matches the breach.
