Prompt: “mountain road zigzagging down a steep green slope in tight bends, seen from above, no cars” — AI-generated and reviewed for quality before listing.

Editor's note (7.5/10): Mostly well composed and natural, with only a single small car present and no other flaws, slightly drifting from the 'no cars' brief requirement.
