Coral crabs at dusk

THE PROMPT

Three small coral-orange shore crabs scuttle in a loose diagonal across a wide blue-gray tidal flat at dusk. The nearest crab is low in the left foreground with its claws folded, the second crosses a shallow curved ripple near the center, and the third is tiny beside a distant patch of sea grass. Wet sand mirrors muted purple clouds, with delicate footprints and small beads of water resolving around the nearest animal. Low expansive wildlife photograph, realistic shells and jointed legs, shallow foreground detail fading into a peaceful open coast. Visual medium: High-end photographic realism, believable tactile materials, natural lens perspective, controlled depth of field and subtle fine grain. Keep texture clear without waxy smoothing. Palette: deep blue, coral orange, muted purple. Lighting: a glowing coastal sunset with soft foreground rim light. All human or humanlike figures are clearly adult and fully clothed. Original character and object designs. One coherent finished image, with no added lettering, logos, signatures or watermarks.
