ascent

A strong Indian mountaineer in his late 30s standing proudly, holding an ice axe with a determined gaze, in front of the Himalayas at sunrise from a slightly low-angle close-up using a 24-70mm lens with a tight mid-shot. Use crisp alpine lighting and cool-warm blended tones with tricolor accents. Apply wind-chapped high-detail skin texture, minimal frost-touched makeup, insulated jacket with Indian flag patch, and misty snow swirl and light flares. Render in ultra-sharp 8K with photorealistic patriotic poster design.
