This is so unique, Dan. It is very minimalistic as to elements (just the sky, water, and fins), and also as to color with hardly any difference between the sky and water. Beautiful.

I will have to second @Mark_Muller’s thoughts on this image, Dan. I particularly like the understated pastel color palette here. It had to be amazing to see these orcas in the wild going about their business. Very nicely done.

What a fantastic scene and image! Your post-processing is just spot on. Due to the a little bit small clearance to the right, maybe you could try to flip the image horisontally and see if you like it.
