Make this prompt your own

Subject: “A cinematic film still of an old night watchman in a khaki uniform sitting on a plastic chair by a closed factory gate” is the part that names the subject. Put your own there and leave the other words alone to keep this look.
Light: The light comes from the scene itself; our notes call it low sodium light. To change it, add a few words at the end, such as “soft grey light” or “stormy light”.
Rules: The last words, “No text”, stop the tool from writing on the picture. That leaves clean space for your own title.

Same theme, another look

In other light: Projection Room (projector beam), Child with a Kite in the Ruins (golden hour) and Rainy Alley Detective (neon and rain light).

In another style: Train Window Film Still (film still), Late-Night Diner (cinematic film still) and Noir Detective (film noir).
