The composition is centered within a square frame. The scene is dramatically lit with a split-lighting effect. A warm, golden-orange light illuminates the smoke from the left, catching the highlights of the horse's flowing mane and muscular form. From the right, a cool, mystical teal-blue light cuts through the darkness, creating an ethereal and mysterious atmosphere. The background is deep black, emphasizing the volumetric light and the dynamic energy of the horse.",
