Transform the attached photo into a pixel-art landscape.
Essential elements: [subject]
Palette and mood: [palette]
Rebuild as carefully composed 16-bit-era pixel art. Use a visibly coarse, consistent square pixel grid, as if drawn at approximately 320 pixels wide and enlarged with nearest-neighbor scaling. Shape trees, mountains, roofs and water with deliberate clusters, crisp stair-step diagonals and selective ordered dithering. Make the small boathouse readable with a few high-contrast pixels. Keep distant details simpler than foreground clusters. No smooth brushwork, anti-aliased edges, photo mosaic, HUD, game characters or text. This is an aesthetic target, not a claim of an exact indexed palette.
Use the attached photograph as the only visual reference. Preserve its camera viewpoint, major silhouettes, relative positions, and recognizable subject. Simplify fine details without adding objects. Produce only the finished artwork, not a comparison, mockup or framed print. Keep the original landscape aspect ratio, at least 1400 pixels wide. No text, lettering, logos, signature or watermark; omit any signage visible in the photograph.Upload a photo and describe the elements to keep.

Example notes and sources
The red roof, lake and mountain arrangement remain recognizable. The output has coarse pixel clusters and strong sky dithering, but the house is enlarged and the image is not a certified uniform-grid game asset.
