Prompt: “long exposure of an airplane's blinking light trail streaking across a starry night sky above a dark hillside” — AI-generated and reviewed for quality before listing.
Editor's note (7.5/10): The image matches the brief well with natural, atmospheric lighting; the small distant light source on the hill is slightly indistinct but does not detract from usability.
