A serene scene of a lone surfer riding a gentle wave during a vivid, glowing sunset over the ocean. The sky is awash with rich gradients of orange, gold, and soft magenta, transitioning into deep purples near the horizon. The surfer, silhouetted against the radiant sky, is gracefully leaning forward on the crest of the wave, capturing a moment of calm movement and poise. Two birds are flying above in the open sky, adding a sense of freedom and balance to the composition. The ocean surface is illuminated with warm sunset reflections, creating shimmering patterns in the water. Ensure the overall tone feels cinematic and peaceful. Apply a soft grainy film texture across the entire image to match a retro, 1970s surf photography style and ensure the sky and water maintain enough negative space for overlaying inspirational quote text.
