Photoreal Assassin in a Silent Salt Flat

Photorealistic image of a lone assassin on a vast salt flat at golden hour. The ground is a mosaic of glistening salt crystals and shallow reflective pools, stretching to a hazy horizon. A hooded figure in a weathered tactical coat crouches behind a small salt outcrop, a sleek sniper rifle slung over their back, gloved hand resting near the grip. Dust motes shimmer in the warm air; footprints trail behind them. Ultra-detailed textures: salt crystals, cracked crust, wind-swept fabric, reflective surfaces. Cinematic lighting with warm amber highlights on the horizon and cool blue shadows, shallow depth of field to separate figure from the stark landscape. Mood: tense, silent, with an impending encounter.
