lent ashes on wooden cross
Prompt
Photorealistic close-up of a plain rough-hewn wooden cross lying on a simple linen-covered table, its center lightly dusted with fine gray Lenten ashes, beside an unbranded ceramic bowl and a single extinguished candle with a thin curl of smoke. The setting is a quiet chapel side room at early morning in late winter, with cool window light grazing the wood grain and a faint suggestion of bare branches beyond frosted glass. Mood is reverent, sparse, and contemplative. Color palette of ash gray, weathered brown, soft cream, and muted violet. Compose from a low three-quarter angle with negative space to the right, shot on 50mm, f/2.2, shallow depth of field, natural texture, documentary still life.
