Shadow Creature in a Luminous Elven City

Photorealistic scene of a shadow creature in an ancient elven city at night. A slender, amorphous silhouette formed of dark smoke and velvet shadows, with faint ember eyes and wisps curling off its form. It glides along a moonlit cobblestone street beside curved arches, crystalline spires, and bioluminescent vines. The city glows with cool moonlight and warm amber lanterns, reflected in a narrow canal that runs by white marble bridges. The creature’s edges blur into the air, leaving a soft afterimage as it absorbs a little light. Cinematic lighting: rim light from the unseen moon, subtle backlight highlighting arch details, deep shadows. Composition: eye-level, slight three-quarter view as the creature approaches a glowing plaza with a crystal fountain. Colors: cool blues and greens with warm orange-gold accents. Textures: wet stones, rough bark-like vine skins, translucent smoky tendrils. Mood: eerie, awe-inspiring, magical, ancient. Camera cues: 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, f/1.8, ISO 100, cinematic framing.
