🌫️   Fog

Fill the entire scene with extremely thick, impenetrable fog. The mist should be so dense that it almost completely erases the background and surroundings, leaving only faint, ghostly silhouettes barely visible in the distance. The atmosphere must feel heavy, overwhelming, and otherworldly, with layers of fog pressing against the scene like a white-gray curtain. The main subject in the foreground remains sharp and clear, while everything else is swallowed by the massive wall of fog. Hyper-cinematic, highly atmospheric, ultra-detailed, surreal.

- (Fog thick in distance, lighter near subject): 

Add a dramatic fog effect with extremely dense mist in the distant background, obscuring most of the environment and creating a mysterious, surreal mood. As the fog approaches the foreground, it becomes thinner and lighter, ensuring the main subject remains clear and visible. The layered fog creates depth and atmosphere, with ghostly silhouettes fading into the distance. Cinematic, atmospheric, ultra-detailed.
