City Street with Trench-Coated Figure

Tags
A narrow brownstone-lined city street with golden-leaved trees and fallen leaves along the sidewalks in late afternoon, intended for vertical poster or mobile wallpaper use, a trench-coat figure walks away in the distance adding scale and depth. Brick facades with worn mortar joints, subtle soot and faded paint, cast-iron railings with chipped edges, uneven stone stoops, window glass with warm golden reflections and slight micro-reflections, dry curled maple leaves with visible veins and varied pile density on pavement. Focus on a midground plane with leading lines sharply rendered; distant trench-coated figure remains slightly softer but with a stable, recognizable silhouette and no motion blur; pavement texture and leaf edges retain natural microdetail and subtle grain. Late afternoon warm amber side light coming from an upper-left angle producing long feathered shadows and warm reflections on glass, gentle cool fill from overcast sky to retain shadow detail, map palette so ochre and warm-amber dominate foliage and highlights, brick-red anchors the building surfaces, slate-gray informs street and cool shadows while preserving printable gamut. An urban canyon of three-to-four story brownstones with narrow sidewalks and a visible vanishing intersection, light haze or floating dust motes for depth, include a solitary period lamppost and a cast-iron mailbox as props to reinforce scale and story without clutter. Eye-level vantage with a short-tele compression feel, vertical crop filling the frame, leading lines of facades and sidewalk converging toward the vanishing point, subject placed near the lower third back-center for depth, horizon held low to emphasize height and verticality. Street photography aesthetic with cinematic tones, film-grain suggestion with subdued contrast and preserved midtone micro-contrast, natural texture emphasis and high-resolution photographic fidelity rather than painterly or illustrative treatment. No visible text or logos; avoid bright neon signs, modern advertising, and anachronistic props; preserve period-neutral styling and anonymity with no identifiable faces or personal items.
