How to use this prompt
Golden-hour wave shots need the warm light to backlit the spray. The wave should be curling or breaking to catch the light. A wide horizon line emphasizes calm. The 21:9 frame suits panoramic wallpaper. Keep the sky simple; busy clouds compete with the wave action. The sand in the foreground should be wet to reflect the sky.
Variations to try
- Dramatic ocean waves — large crashing wave for power
- Calm ocean at dusk — pastel sky reflected in still water
