Prompt
A close-up portrait of the letters "HI" carved into a wooden panel fills a vertical 9:16 frame with the carving centered slightly above midline to suit mobile-first cropping and safe zones. The letters are deeply cut with crisp edges and soft bevels so the carved surfaces read as sculpted negative space and the surrounding face of the board remains unlettered and clean. The air is clear and still, with a subtle warm haze that lifts from the grain and gives the scene an intimate, tactile mood. The front-most rim of the carving resolves the sharpest detail, with moderate depth of field so successive board grain and tooling marks fall gently softer into the background. Light sculpts the letters with a warm directional glow that separates planes and reveals microfibers and sanded faces, yielding contrast between rich brown hollows and pale planed surfaces. Materials focus on the worn oak board, carved recesses, and a faint waxed sheen on the raised faces. Composition keeps a tight vertical crop that respects a 9:16 aspect, with even negative space left and right for safe text placement and a slight top bias to avoid center clutter. A small brass push pin or leather cord can appear at the lower corner as a story cue for display mounting. Render as a photoreal still with careful texture fidelity and natural finish, echoing palette tones #8B5A2B, #D2A679, #3B2F2F, and #F2E6D0 for wood and highlight balance.
