Lone Explorer in Golden Desert Dunes

Photorealistic scene of a lone explorer navigating a vast desert of wind-sculpted sand dunes at golden hour. The explorer wears a wide-brimmed hat, a scarf wrapped over the face, a rugged tan jacket, cargo pants, and a weathered backpack. In one hand he holds a compass and a fluttering map. The sun is low, casting long shadows and bathing the dunes in warm amber light. Close-up foreground shows intricate sand textures and footprints, while distant ridges fade into a soft heat haze. High-detail, ultra-realistic lighting, 8k quality, cinematic composition with shallow depth of field focusing on the explorer.
