Vertical 4K UHD photorealistic astrophotography photograph (2160x3840), tripod-mounted full-frame camera, 14mm f/1.8, ISO 3200, 20s, WB 3800K. Scene: a remote, windless winter night at a glassy alpine lake; a narrow frost-dusted wooden pier leads into still, inky water with faint star reflections. At the pier’s end, a small amber lantern glows softly, gently rim-lighting a couple in a quiet embrace seen from behind, bundled in knit scarves, their breath barely visible. Sky: an immense field of stars with the Milky Way band stretching overhead, crisp pinpoint stars, subtle dust lanes, natural star colors; no moon, no light pollution (Bortle 2), no clouds, no star trails. Composition: low horizon with the pier as a leading line; sincere, peaceful, hopeful mood; lifelike textures in the wood grain and frost; true-to-life lighting and shadows; clean, organic noise; natural color grade (cool blue night with warm lantern highlights). Focus at hyperfocal for foreground and infinity sharpness; minimal coma in the corners; no HDR look.
