skeleton thinker on metro platform

Subject & Scenario — skeleton in profile sits on a metal bin on a metro platform in the pose of Rodin's Thinker, viewed as a professional nighttime photograph intended for a cinematic poster or wallpaper, a stationary metro train is visible behind the subject and rain streaks the scene.
Look & Materials — skeleton bones show matte, slightly porous cortical texture with faint mineral flecks and subtle micro-cracks, the bin shows chipped paint and wet metal sheen with fine raindrop beading, platform tiles have slick reflections and thin puddle ripples, train surface is glossy with smeared condensation and textured grime.
Focus & Fidelity — skeleton's skull and torso are tack-sharp on the focus plane with crisp sutures and intact mandibular silhouette, the Thinker pose retains clear hand-to-chin articulation and stable silhouette, raindrops along edges render as small, well-defined highlights and there is no motion blur on the subject while background train has gentle separation.
Lighting & Color Mapping — scene lit by a single triangular pool of cool white lamp light from above-left forming a hard-edged triangle that falls across the skeleton as the dominant highlight, ambient station ambient is deep navy cool that recedes into shadow, the lamp's warm-to-neutral rim casts pale warm accents on bone edges, map #0b1220 to background shadow, #ffe6a7 to lamp highlights, #d9d6cc to bone surfaces while preserving clipped-but-detailed highlights and rich midtone micro-contrast.
Environment & Props — platform is tiled urban transit architecture with overhead signage out of focus and wet depth cues like reflecting puddles and damp bench surfaces, a stationary train car behind provides scale and context, include one small prop: a crumpled paper flyer near the bin and one prop: a faintly graffitied column to reinforce transit narrative.
Camera & Composition — scene shot at eye-level with a normal-to-short-tele field that compresses background slightly, framing places the skeleton off-center at roughly 40% horizontal crop to the left with the triangular lamp beam forming a leading diagonal toward the skull, horizon of platform lines runs low to emphasize vertical lamp triangle and leading lines of train cars create depth.
Style & Medium — photographic realism with filmic grain restraint and clean shadow detail, emphasis on true-to-life material shaders such as subtle subsurface scattering in bone, wet-surface micro-reflections on metal and tile, and controlled environmental bloom on distant train windows consistent with cinematic color grading.
Text & Constraints — "no visible text"; hard avoids: no extra fingers, no watermark, no on-frame lighting gear or stands, no brand logos or trademarks, no anachronistic props, no nonsense glyphs.
