How to use this prompt

Floating lantern scenes need enough lanterns to feel like an event, but not so many that the water becomes solid orange. The calm river doubles the glow, so stillness is essential. Misty mountains in the background add depth without detail. The 16:9 frame captures the wide spread of the river. Place the brightest cluster slightly off-center. Twilight sky keeps the scene dark enough for the lights to glow.

Variations to try

Lanterns at full night — deep blue sky and sharper reflections
Lantern festival crowd — silhouettes on the shore for scale
