Sunrise on the Mirror Salt Flat
A salt-flat photo with a thin film of water, doubled by the first colour of sunrise.

The prompt
Preserve the flat horizon and the thin sheet of water from the reference image; add only the sunrise and the motion. The sun climbs at the left edge as the whole sky warms from grey to amber, and the flooded ground doubles every colour in still water. The camera tilts up slowly from the water film to the glowing disc, then holds. A single thin ripple crosses the foreground and settles. Wide calm framing, natural saturation, no people, no buildings.

Why it works
For an image-to-video landscape the reference is the location scout, so the note is about choosing a clean sheet of water and the prompt only adds the time of day. The tilt up is the single camera instruction because a flat, featureless plane gives the model nothing to parallax against — height is the only movement that reads.
What to put in the reference image
Upload a photo taken on a salt flat or a shallow flooded plain, ideally with a thin film of water and a hard, clean horizon. Skip images with footprints, tyre tracks or crowds — the reflection only works over an unbroken sheet of water.
