How to use this prompt
The "tiny yellow kayak" is the whole thumbnail — one warm speck against all that turquoise is what earns the click, so keep the scale word "tiny" and never let the kayak dominate the frame. "Empty left third of the frame over deep open water" reserves clean title space; if a cliff creeps into that zone, reroll instead of cropping, because a 16:9 crop eats the composition fast. The "sun glitter" clause supplies the sparkle that makes the water read premium at 200px wide. Drop --stylize to 100 if the cliffs start looking like fantasy concept art rather than a real coastline.
Variations to try
- Canyon version — swap the setting for "a narrow slot canyon river from above, the tiny yellow kayak threading between orange rock walls"
- Winter version — "a lone red-jacketed hiker on a snow ridge from above, long blue shadow trailing, empty left third over untouched snow"
