Midnight Silence: Man in a Hat and a Horse

Create a high-contrast black-and-white photograph of a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat standing beside a calm horse on a desolate road at dusk. Use strong side lighting to carve dramatic shadows across the man's face (eyes hidden by the hat brim) and the horse's neck, with a soft, foggy background that fades to gray. Add film grain and a subtle vignette for a vintage noir feel. The scene should feel mysterious and enigmatic, as if guarding a secret. Focus on photorealistic textures: the felt of the hat, the horse's glossy coat, rough gravel underfoot, and distant bare trees or a misty horizon. The man wears a dark coat; the horse stands close, head slightly turned toward the camera, both exuding quiet, unresolved intensity. The overall mood is cinematic, timeless, and puzzling, like a still from a detective story.
