lent ashes on wooden cross
Prompt
Photorealistic still life of a simple handmade wooden cross lying flat on a rustic chapel table, its surface lightly dusted with fine gray Lenten ashes forming a soft, imperfect smudge rather than any readable mark. Nearby, an unbranded beeswax candle burns low beside a small olive branch and a plain linen cloth, with out-of-focus printed prayer pages in the background showing no legible words. Early morning window light streams in from the left, catching ash particles and wood grain with quiet reverence. Mood is contemplative, humble, and seasonal, with a muted palette of charcoal gray, warm honey wood, soft cream, and pale olive. Composed as a close overhead three-quarter view, shot on 50mm, f/2.8, gentle shallow depth of field, natural texture, no HDR.
Negative Prompt
