Photorealistic 4K UHD night photograph with accurate lighting, lifelike textures, and rich depth of field: a remote, snow-dusted alpine ridge under a crystal-clear sky ablaze with stars; the hazy band of the Milky Way arcs overhead with visible dust lanes and pinpoint stars, no trails. Foreground: a single figure from behind in a dark wool coat and beanie, standing on a small rock, holding a gently glowing sparkler at chest height; soft amber spill subtly illuminates the surrounding snow, revealing delicate crystalline texture and faint footprints leading to the figure. Midground: silhouettes of sparse pines along a low horizon; a calm, mirrorlike pond catches a faint reflection of the starfield. Background: immense, indigo-black sky with a bright winter starfield and the Milky Way band as the hero. Mood is quiet, hopeful, sincere; color palette of cool midnight blues and silvers with a warm accent from the sparkler. Natural color grading, no heavy saturation; zero light pollution; crisp, noise-controlled detail.

Include small, tasteful text overlay:

- Caption: "Let's make this a light-year."

- Placement: bottom center, well above the edge to avoid cropping

- Style: thin sans-serif (Avenir/Helvetica Neue Light), warm white (#F4F4F2), slight tracking, 4–6% of image height, ultra-subtle soft shadow for legibility

Camera and lens look:

- Full-frame mirrorless, 14mm f/1.8 on tripod

- Settings: f/1.8, 15s, ISO 6400, manual focus at infinity, WB 3800K

- Low-level, diffused fill just enough to reveal snow texture; keep sky dominance and preserve star color

Avoid:

- City lights, moonlight, clouds, aurora, lens flares, CGI appearance, oversharpening, banding, star trails, excessive noise, cartoonish colors, clutter or extra props, additional text beyond the caption.
