Seen through leaves and branches in the foreground, a soft green fringe around the picture, a 35-year-old woman of Caribbean descent stands alone on a rocky cliff edge, looking up at a sky filled with auroras, lightning, and falling stars. Her face is lit by the green and purple hues, and she holds a single glass of champagne steadily in her hand, the reflection of the aurora visible in the liquid. Wind blows her hair across her face, and a single star falls close to the ground near her boots. She is mid-yawn, the eyes watering and one hand at the mouth, her expression caught in a moment of fatigue and wonder. She has deep espresso-brown skin, a petite frame, and a long narrow face with grey eyes and high arched eyebrows. Laugh lines surround her eyes, and she wears thick black-framed glasses. Her very long waist-length hair, dyed pastel pink, is styled in a single French braid, with thick deep waves visible where the braid ends. She wears a fleece jacket, hiking trousers, and leather boots. The 14mm ultra-wide lens captures the whole space in one frame, with verticals leaning in, and the composition curls inwards along a spiral towards the main figure. The light is low-key, with one small lamp providing the primary illumination, leaving most of the frame in black. Shot on a full-frame digital camera with a 14mm lens, the image exhibits significant perspective distortion, high dynamic range to balance the bright aurora and the dark foreground, and sharp focus on the subject's face and the champagne glass.
