[ nighttime horror photograph ] (A stone well stands in the middle of an overgrown, neglected yard, its rim covered in thick black moss clinging to the stone) (A worn old wooden bucket hangs from a frayed rope, its bottom barely visible over the edge of the well, submerged in blackness). (A single bent iron lantern sits on the rim of the well, its glass cracked and filled with cobwebs, with a weak flicker of light), <<BREAK>>, (Scattered around the yard are faintly visible carved pumpkins, rotting, their faces grotesquely warped and sagging) (Their eyes seem to be watching the well) (their surfaces soft and bloated with rot). (Above, tangled branches of dead trees bend toward the well, their shapes resembling skeletal hands, reaching as if to grab hold of it). <<BREAK>>, ((A crow sits atop the bucket, its beak gaping open), (The fog thickens near the base of the well, swirling up toward the rim), [(photo taken with Canon EOS R5 using Canon RF 24- 70mm f/2. 8L IS USM lens), (ISO 1600), (1/60s), (f/4. 0), The color palette is muted grays and blacks, with the faint orange of the pumpkins adding disturbing contrast. Lighting is low, diffused through thick fog, adding to the oppressive, haunting feel of the image. ]
