A moody, cinematic nighttime scene of a short outdoor staircase framed on the right by a weathered wooden handrail, a vintage metal lantern hanging from the rail casting a soft cyan-blue glow; shallow depth of field with the foreground steps in crisp focus and the background forest rendered as deep, misty bokeh; cool monochromatic teal color palette with subtle contrast, low-key lighting, and gentle bloom around the lantern; textures emphasized — rough concrete/stone steps with thin frost or dust, chipped paint and grain in the wood, tiny floating dust motes visible in the lantern light; cinematic 2:1 aspect ratio, 50mm lens feel, wide aperture (f/1.8) for creamy background blur, slight film grain, soft vignette, subtle lens flare from the lantern, atmospheric fog diffusing light into the trees, mood evocative of solitude, mystery, and quiet anticipation.
