Black Cat on Victorian Porch

A black cat sits alert on a carved Victorian porch railing among paper bats and gauzy webs, watching the steps with a calm, neighborly presence. The sign on the post reads "BROOM PARKING ONLY," with a small blank placard beneath reserved for a headline, clean and unlettered. A stack of carved jack-o'-lanterns glows amber and orange, their carved faces casting soft pool light across the wood. The cat's fur is glossy and black, with soft, even wrap that reveals paw and whisker silhouette. Surfaces show worn wood grain, soft cloth webs, and matte paper bats as the tactile trio. The scene uses a cool moonlight blue crispness balanced by warm bulb amber and deep black contrast in a calm, low-contrast grade. Light fog drifts across the wooden steps and a subtle outline glow separates the silhouette from the background. Frame this vertically at a 2:3 aspect ratio, eye-level viewpoint, normal field of view, and generous clean negative space to the right for headline placement. Photographic-ad style, cinematic still-life treatment with neighborly Halloween atmosphere.
