Create an image featuring a horizontal composition with a soft-focused background exhibiting a gradient from a deep blue on the left, seamlessly blending into a warm amber and white glow on the right that suggests the rising or setting sun. In the foreground, sharply in focus, is a singular, slender tree branch arching gently from the bottom left corner towards the center-right of the frame. The branch bears no leaves but has a couple of visible thorns and a few small, pointed buds signaling early signs of spring. Two prominent water droplets cling to the underside of the branch, capturing the light and colors of the background in their reflection, acting as tiny, natural lenses mirroring the environment. The overall mood of the image is serene and contemplative with a strong emphasis on the tranquility of nature.
