Prompt: “ultrawide celestial wallpaper of a sun and crescent moon at opposite ends of a sky fading from gold to navy” — AI-generated and reviewed for quality before listing.

Editor's note (8.5/10): Clean, well composed, perfectly matches the brief, with a very minor artistic inconsistency of lunar-style texture on the sun that is only noticeable on close inspection.
