Footprints on a Serene Coast under Gray Clouds

Photorealistic seascape of a serene coastline under an overcast sky. Wet sand in the foreground bears a single trail of human footprints leading toward the cool gray-blue horizon. Midground features rugged rocks and waves breaking with white foam, sea spray, and shallow tidal pools. The atmosphere is tranquil yet melancholic, with a cool, desaturated palette of blues, grays, and muted greens. The sky is heavy with low clouds, diffused light creating soft reflections on the wet sand and water. Distant shoreline fades into pale mist at the horizon. Composition emphasizes the footprints as leading lines from foreground to water, eye-level perspective, with highly detailed textures on footprints, sand, rocks, and foam. Style: photorealistic with cinematic lighting or painterly textures depending on the tool.
