I recall I once had a headthought of how a maximally 'preferable' picture of a blue whale would be taken.
The headthought involved the construction of a line of cameras going off at the same time so that the images could later me used to make a mosaic of the entire animal.
I'm not sure if it's ever been done, however.
@dillotest0 I have toyed wwith a similar idea. I have a matching image of this whale's flukes (as you will have seen), but my photos of its head (mostly blowholes) were taken at a diffent angle as our boat drifted past the resting whale and naturally I had zoomed in as well. I did not anticipate its dive, so I missed what could have been the first image of a triptych.
