Ruins Aflame, Heart Afloat
Over-the-shoulder composition from behind the young man as he approaches the blaze; his short dark brown hair ruffled, purple eyes reflecting the burning light. Ahead, a vast ruin swallowed by roots and ivy, its central dais crowned by a majestic bird composed of pure fire, feathers like burning vellum, tail streaming embers. The atmosphere is fearful but hopeful; the man's stance is desperate, one fist clenched while the other reaches forward. A light rain begins to fall, droplets sizzling on hot stone; chiaroscuro lighting, dynamic leading lines, subtle lens flare, floating particles, high detail and dramatic contrast.
