Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal narrative editorial photograph of ONE adult woman in one coherent scene. Capture it with a full-frame high-resolution digital camera, restrained digital clarity, and no analog film simulation. Use deep indigo navy, warm gold, ivory stone, muted pink embroidery, and restrained skin saturation. Preserve readable navy folds, smooth highlight rolloff, material detail, and coherent exposure and white balance across subject and architecture.

REFERENCE IDENTITY: Use the supplied adult woman’s reference as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve reference-visible facial features—their actual shapes, sizes, positions, and proportions—underlying skin tone, apparent age, natural asymmetry, and distinctive marks. Let the reference define facial anatomy directly. Do not beautify, idealize, reshape, blend identities, or substitute a generic fashion-model face. Do not change her apparent age, erase age cues, or add age-changing wrinkles. Preserve visible body proportions; otherwise use plausible anatomy without invented measurements. Reference lighting, background, and clothing do not define this scene.

HAIR: Fully replace reference hair with natural-black, straight, long hair gathered and coiled into a compact traditional low chignon immediately above the nape. Clean center part, no bangs, low crown volume, smooth sides tucked behind ears, neat nape. Contain all ends inside bun; no lengths over shoulders, chest, or back. Replace conflicting source length, color, curl, fringe, or tied silhouette. A single gold binyeo passes horizontally through the bun; its small peony ornament is on her anatomical right. No earrings.

MAKEUP: Thin-to-medium semi-matte base preserving natural tonal variation and camera-appropriate skin texture; restrained satin reflection on upper cheeks. Preserve natural brow shape and visible hairs. Soft rose-taupe and neutral-brown shadow concentrated toward outer lids, fine brown-black lash line, separated natural lashes, minute champagne shimmer only at lid centers. Low-intensity muted-rose blush between central and outer cheeks. Rose-brick velvet lips within natural lip boundary, slight central satin reflection. Makeup changes surface color and reflectance only.

WARDROBE: Traditional Korean hanbok with deep indigo-navy silk jeogori and matching full chima. Fitted jeogori meets high skirt waistband; retain overlapping front panels, traditional collar, white dongjeong collar strip, and long matching navy goreum ties. Narrow understated gold decoration follows collar edge and sleeve cuffs. Pale pink, ivory, and pale-gold peonies decorate shoulders and sleeves, connected by muted teal stems and leaves. Dense peony embroidery around lower skirt hem thins upward. Preserve exact floral placement; do not scatter new flowers. Substantial soft silk forms gravity-driven folds and directional satin reflections. Ankle-covering hem without long train; low navy flower shoes underneath.

SCENE: She departs down a dry pale-stone staircase at Fisherman’s Bastion, Budapest, during a deep late-autumn night. Sky is darker navy than at twilight, with faint cloud texture. Descending stair lines lead toward her; an adjoining arcade and illuminated turret remain high toward one side. Monumental architecture frames a quiet farewell. No other people or wineglass.

CAMERA AND COMPOSITION: Environmental long shot, 35mm lens, f/5.6, approximately 12–14 m away. Camera stands behind her on the higher landing at about waist height, looking gently along the descent. Include whole body from chignon to shoe soles and the stair treads supporting her. Place her centrally in the lower frame, standing height about 25–30% of frame height. Let staircase and arcade axes run diagonally, leaving room above for a turret and sky rather than forcing every architectural feature onto one axis. Focus on her and retain coherent stair and tower forms. Use detail appropriate to a distant figure.

ACTION: Seen mainly from behind, she descends slowly. Her anatomical left foot is securely planted on the next lower tread, weight beginning to transfer from the higher trailing right foot. Keep knees and ankles aligned with the stair direction. Her right hand gathers the skirt side slightly above the right shoe so the hem clears her step. Her left elbow bends to cradle the folded shawl across the forearm. Torso and pelvis continue downhill while only her head turns moderately over the anatomical right shoulder toward the space behind. At most a narrow partial cheek profile is visible; do not rotate her face toward the lens. The gesture suggests lingering affection; jaw relaxed.

SHAWL AND FABRIC: The single ivory fur shawl has been removed from her shoulders and folded over the inside of her left elbow. Its weight presses fur against her forearm and its ends remain above the stairs. Navy skirt falls in weighted folds, lightly brushing a nearby tread without forming a long train. Tension gathers toward the right hand; remaining cloth falls with gravity. Keep embroidered lower hem from beneath her feet.

LIGHTING: A warm architectural light from camera-left, high on the landing behind her, reaches selected areas of her back, upper shawl, and hair. A low stair-side practical lights the nearest skirt hem and adjacent tread in the same local pool, revealing only selected pink and gold embroidery threads. Gold peony hairpin has a small highlight only where its reflection angle matches the upper source. Forward-facing face and deep skirt folds remain dark. Preserve stone texture and localized contact shadows. No continuous bright outline, invented moonlight, or face-only fill.

ESSENTIAL: Small retreating figure, one supported downward step, folded shawl on left arm, and restrained over-the-shoulder turn. Maintain coherent stair perspective, foot contact, fabric weight, and reference identity while replacing only the hair as specified.

WATERMARK: Add the exact text “${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}” as a fixed graphic overlay at bottom center, medium signature size (approximately twice a small signature), precisely centered with a safe bottom margin. Use refined white calligraphic italic lettering with thin hairlines, thicker downstrokes, connected lowercase letters, and a clear rightward slant. Keep copyright symbol attached and underscore readable. No outline, shadow, glow, box, border, plaque, or other text.

NEGATIVE: Alternate identity, idealized face, altered age, plastic skin, waxy smoothing, malformed hands, fused or extra fingers, retained conflicting reference hairstyle, floating hairpin, distorted hanbok construction, clipped ivory fabric, artificial HDR, excessive sharpening, CGI, pasted-on subject, uniform glowing silhouette.
