Positive Prompt
"Create a mysterious and atmospheric scene of a hooded figure dressed in a flowing black cloak, standing at the edge of a still lake with distant dunes in the background. The figure is shrouded in shadow, their face completely hidden beneath the deep hood, giving them an enigmatic, almost spectral presence. The black cloak flows and drapes heavily around the figure, with subtle textures of dust and water droplets clinging to the fabric, suggesting a long journey or connection to the natural elements. Overhead, crows circle ominously, their wings spread wide as they fly against a cloudy, muted sky, adding to the sense of mystery and foreboding.
In the background, soft sand dunes rise under a dull, overcast sky, with the reflective surface of the lake perfectly mirroring the dark figure and the swirling birds above. The overall tone of the image is somber and cinematic, evoking themes of solitude, mystery, and the unknown, with a dreamlike quality enhanced by the soft light and muted color palette."
