Midjourney does not want a sentence. It wants a list of specific, stacked details, ending with a few short parameters.
Structure beats a full sentence
Skip phrases like "create an image of." Midjourney reads a stacked list of noun phrases better than conversational language.
A reliable order: subject, setting, lighting, style or medium, camera details, then parameters at the very end.
Add one new detail at a time if a result is not working, instead of rewriting the whole prompt from scratch.
Parameters do the precise work
Set --ar for aspect ratio before you start refining style. Changing it later usually means redoing the composition.
The --stylize value controls how literal versus artistic the result is, on a scale of roughly 0 to 1000. Lower for product-style accuracy, higher for expressive interpretation.
Expect to iterate. Most strong results take several rounds of small adjustments, not one perfect first attempt.
The formula does not change much once you know it. What changes is the specificity you put into each part of it.
