Skateboarder Carving an Empty Pool
MidjourneySkateboarder Carving an Empty Pool is a v7 prompt that uses the curve of the pool as a leading line. Hard sun and a wide lens exaggerate the height and speed of the carve.

How to use this prompt
The pool's curve is the composition, so the prompt puts the camera at the shallow end and lets the wall sweep up to the skater. A wide 24mm lens exaggerates that curve and makes the carve look steeper and faster than a longer lens would. Hard afternoon sun is a choice, not a compromise — it throws a long shadow that doubles the figure and gives the concrete texture. Keep the skater low with knees bent; a standing pose reads as posing, not carving. The empty pool matters — water or a crowd would break the line of the wall and steal the frame.
Variations to try
- Overhead shot looking straight down into the deep end with the skater small
- Golden hour version with the sun low and the shadow stretching across the pool
