Notes

A rainy night street scene in a dense urban entertainment district, lit entirely by artificial sources: neon signage, LED shop fronts, and street lamps casting cool blue and magenta tones across wet pavement. Light is omnidirectional and diffused by rain, creating soft reflections on the ground. Palette is dominated by electric blue, red, and white. Depth of field is moderate, keeping foreground pedestrians and background signage both legible. Mood is cinematic, melancholic, and immersive.
