Make this prompt your own

Subject
“A minimal photo of a single white cup of coffee with a thin curl of steam on a pale grey surface” 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 sun. To change it, add a few words at the end, such as “bright daylight” or “bright light”.
Colours
The prompt names white and grey. Change any of those colour words and the picture follows.
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: Single Diya Minimal (lamp glow), Paper Plane in a Pastel Sky (soft pastel light) and White Horse in Fog (soft fog light).

In another style: Lone Tree Minimal (minimal) and Geometric Stairs (minimal architecture).
