See the prompt · GPT Image 2

A snow leopard resting on a rocky outcrop above a vast Himalayan valley at golden hour, camouflaged against grey rock and snow, pale green eyes catching the warm low sun, wind ruffling its thick spotted fur, a deep valley with a winding river far below. Award-winning documentary wildlife photograph shot on a full-frame camera with a long lens, natural light, true-to-life colour, real fur texture, gentle atmosphere and haze, fine natural grain, unposed and authentic. No CGI look, no oversaturation. No text, no logos, no watermark, no border, full bleed.
