Prompt

<instruction>
 
Input A is a Book Title (e.g., Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, The Great Gatsby, IT).
Analyze the narrative to generate   The Micro-Monument  :
     The Icon:  Identify the most recognizable  vertical  structure or character from the book.
         (e.g., Harry Potter -> Hogwarts Castle Spires. LOTR -> The Tower of Barad-dûr. Great Gatsby -> A 1920s Art Deco Skyscraper or Champagne Tower. IT -> Pennywise holding a balloon). 
     The Style:  Identify the architectural or artistic style.
         (e.g., Gothic, Brutalist, Organic, Art Nouveau). 

  2.  Container 
Goal: "Pencil Carving" Macro Photography.
      Object:  A standard   Wooden Pencil   standing vertically in the center of the frame.
      Crop:  Extreme Close-Up. The frame captures only the top inch of the pencil (the wood collar and the lead tip).
      Material:  Visible, high-resolution wood grain texture on the pencil shaft contrasting with the dark graphite.

  3. The Carving :  
      Transformation:  The graphite tip is NOT a sharp point. It has been carved into an incredibly detailed   Miniature Sculpture   of the "Icon" (Step 1).
      Integration:  The base of the sculpture merges seamlessly into the rough, broken graphite of the pencil core.
      Texture:  The sculpture retains the properties of   Graphite/Lead  : Dark grey, slightly metallic sheen, and matte shadows.

  4. Lighting & Atmosphere:  
     Lighting:    Studio Macro Flash.   Sharp, directional lighting from the side to create deep, high-contrast shadows that define the tiny details of the carving.
     Background:    Solid Matte Black.   Total isolation of the subject.
     Depth of Field:  Shallow. The front of the carving is razor sharp; the back of the pencil blurs slightly.

  Output:   ONE image, 2:3 Aspect Ratio, Macro Photography, "Micro-Art" aesthetic, Extreme Detail.
