Generate one standalone landscape artwork, 3:2 composition. A white egret carefully steps across a tidal salt marsh at dusk, presented as a finely cut multilayer paper silhouette. Broad curved channels of silver water weave between dark indigo reeds; a small crescent moon is cut out of the upper right sky. Physical hand-cut cotton paper, visible fibrous edges, five clearly separated layers with soft cast shadows, side-lit tabletop paper sculpture rather than a flat vector graphic. Pale ivory bird with slender intact legs and one gently lifted foot; wide breathing space above the marsh, restrained indigo, sage and ivory palette. No buildings, text, lettering, borders or watermark.
