Chestnut Husks on Salt-Sprayed Cliff Edge

Spiky green husks cluster tightly along rough branches, their sharp points catching the low golden light of late afternoon. A layer of fine dust hovers just above the ground, glowing softly in the warm rays. The tree bark shows deep fissures and salt stains from the nearby ocean spray, creating a textured contrast against the vibrant green spines. Shadows stretch long across the foliage, showing the angular shapes of the husks. The background blurs into a hazy mix of pale sky and distant cliff rock, keeping the focus on the intricate details of the plant. One thorn tip reflects the sun, marking the edge of the frame with a bright point of light.
