Visual details
A dense school of small fish forms loose circular and oval patterns beneath clear turquoise ocean water, with surface ripples and sun glints visible and no people in frame.
Shot mechanics
The frames support an overhead aerial composition, likely from a drone, with the fish school filling the frame and no horizon, shoreline, boat, or fixed foreground visible.
