snow message on morning surface

A vertical portrait frame captures fresh snow on a flat surface at a 9:16 aspect ratio with the word "HI" hand-traced and centered for clear legibility and quiet presence. Surfaces are clean and unlettered elsewhere so the letters read crisply against soft powder, with the traced grooves showing compacted texture and subtle shadowing. The air feels cool and still on a clear morning with faint breath haze at the edges and a gentle clarity in the atmosphere. Frosted granules, a nearby wooden table edge, and a single mitten provide tactile context and scale with pale warm accent tones echoing in the mitten. The foreground letters resolve sharp first with shallow depth so the carved snow texture is detailed while the background falls into a soft blur. Light is soft and diffuse with gentle separation that sculpts the grooves and gives a cool-blue bias overall, referencing the pale icy blues and warm peach accent in the palette. Framing is tight and vertical with balanced negative space above the text and a normal perceived width that favors the 9:16 crop for social portrait use. The image should read like a quiet personal greeting, photo-realistic and calmly composed, with a slight trace of drifting powder to suggest recent movement.
