Rear view from behind and slightly above a heavy iron battle axe resting on a bed of white snow on a mountain peak. The axe is wrapped in thick bands of black leather, and the cold air causes the metal to frost over rapidly with small icicles forming on its jagged edges. Steam rises from the still-warm metal of the blade, and the distinct imprint of the axe head is pressed into the snow. Frost patterns are crystallizing on the leather wraps. The main figure is framed by a stone archway carved into the rock face, with a tilt-shift lens creating a narrow sharp band across the frame and softly blurred top and bottom. A low golden-hour sun sits directly behind the arch, glowing edges and creating a bright haze that backlights the steam and frost. Shot on a medium format film camera, capturing the crisp texture of the ice and the deep shadows of the leather with high dynamic range and a cold color cast.
