Laptop scene with crabs gathering on the beach

Prompt

Create a realistic, slightly unsettling beach photograph in late-afternoon natural light: a blue-green and white striped towel lies on rippled golden sand, with a closed matte black laptop or tablet centered on the towel at a slight diagonal angle. The device has rounded corners, is dusted with sand grains, and has a small cute car sticker in the center of the lid. A dark black garment or towel is bunched on the right edge. Populate the scene with exactly 38 tiny beach creatures crawling over and around the device and towel: 24 pale sand crabs with long thin legs scattered across the towel, laptop lid, and nearby sand, and 14 hermit crabs with varied spiral shells clustered mostly along the lower and right edges of the device. Make the creatures numerous and busy, with some on top of the laptop, some partially under its edges, and some crossing the striped fabric. Use {argument name="creature count" default="38"} visible animals, {argument name="main object" default="closed matte black laptop with a cute car sticker"}, {argument name="beach textile" default="blue-green and white striped towel"}, {argument name="lighting" default="warm low-angle late-afternoon sunlight"}, and {argument name="mood" default="realistic, crowded, slightly creepy but natural beach snapshot"}. Shoot from a low oblique overhead angle, wide horizontal composition, shallow but not extreme depth of field, high detail in sand texture, fabric weave, shadows, crab legs, and shells. No humans, no text overlay, no watermark.
