Prompt: “neutral desktop wallpaper of a calm beige beach with a thin line of surf and a pale sun, minimal” — AI-generated and reviewed for quality before listing.

Editor's note (8.5/10): Matches the brief perfectly with clean minimal composition, soft natural neutral tones, only very subtle softness on the surf line that does not impact usability as a wallpaper.
