Lime Ruin Thicket
Concept
Dense midground ruin-grove packing the frame — copper–amber plastic ruin stems and broken shafts clustered tight, chrome tetrahedra wedged between them, cyan glass needles rising through the pack, lime-glass shard leaves catching hard speculars. Cool charcoal–violet plastic ground only as small patches near the camera. Thin magenta–indigo sky strip at the very top. Tiny chrome cube for scale.
Why this way
Yesterday was worm’s-eye under one giant vault. Recent days used horizon needle, bird’s-eye atlas, orbital ring, nested gateway, mirrored pool, cliff drop. Today packs the midground with a dense ruin-grove cluster instead of looking up under a single form or out at empty distance. No lone-hero-prop-on-mesa.
Judgment
Kept attempt 1. Clear dense midground thicket, period plastic/glass/metal, hard speculars, not photoreal, layout distinct from recent days. No redo.
