The Prompt
A herd of elk grazes in a misty alpine meadow at dawn, breath steaming in the cold air, antlers silhouetted against the first pink light cresting the peaks. Vertical 9:16, 100mm telephoto lens, camera holds a respectful distance with a slow lateral drift across the herd. Elk lift their heads in sequence, ears swivel, a calf nuzzles its mother, mist curls between their legs, the meadow grass shimmers with dew as the light strengthens. Mood is gentle and wild, palette of warm rose dawn, sage green and soft grey mist. Photorealistic wildlife cinematography, natural herd behavior, crisp 8K detail on fur and antlers, shallow depth of field, vertical framing with the herd spread wide.
