Golden Hour Harbor — AI Image Prompt

A lone figure at the end of a weathered pier, held as a silhouette against a low golden sun while the light doubles itself across the water. It reads as a photograph because the prompt builds three depth layers and gives the backlight three separate jobs. Swap the figure for a boat or a lantern and the entire composition holds.
