Prompt
A foundry worker pouring molten bronze from a crucible into a sprued investment mould, the bronze flowing as a bright orange-yellow stream catching the light, white sparks rising from the pour point, the worker wearing heavy leather apron and foundry gloves, the crucible held in long tongs, the mould glowing faintly at the vents, warm orange light from the pour illuminating the worker's face from below, the dark foundry background with a glowing furnace visible in the far corner, no text, no letters --ar 16:9 --stylize 200

How to use this prompt
"Sprued investment mould" is the technical term that gives Midjourney the lost-wax premise — a plain "mould" renders as a generic cast, which is a different process. "Bright orange-yellow stream catching the light" is the material-state phrase; molten bronze has a specific colour that shifts as it cools, and naming the colour holds the moment. "Warm orange light from the pour illuminating the worker's face from below" is the single light source that makes the scene read as a real pour rather than a lit studio shot. "Glowing furnace in the far corner" gives the background depth. Stylize 200 suits the dramatic foundry atmosphere.
Variations to try
- Redraw the moment after the pour: the crucible withdrawn, the mould glowing at every vent
- Move the pour to an outdoor bronze yard at dusk with the sky behind the sparks
