Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal narrative editorial image with one adult woman in one coherent spatial scene. Capture digitally and color-grade to evoke Kodak Vision3 500T: restrained saturation, fine organic grain, natural warm-light/cool-night separation, gentle midtone contrast, readable deep shadows, and smooth highlight rolloff. Use deep navy, restrained cyan, cotton white, and faint tungsten amber. Use an intentional composite of a brief subject exposure and an accumulated meteor-sky exposure, registered to the same camera position and perspective. No collage panels or split screen.

Reference identity:
Use the designated adult woman's reference as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve her actual facial feature 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 make her younger or older, erase age cues, or add age-changing wrinkles. Preserve reference-visible body proportions; otherwise use plausible anatomy without invented measurements. Reference lighting and clothing do not define this scene.

Hair:
Preserve the reference-visible length, color, texture, parting, fringe, tied or loose structure, volume, and silhouette. Allow only physically plausible wind, gravity, and clothing-contact responses.

Makeup:
Use cinematic no-makeup makeup: sheer skin tint retaining natural tonal variation, softly groomed brows, barely visible beige-taupe eyelid shading, lightly separated lashes, faint rose-beige blush, and translucent rose-tinted lip balm. Preserve natural skin texture at this camera distance, with restrained matte-to-satin variation.

Wardrobe:
Dress her in a white oversized long shirt dress ending around mid-calf, made of lightweight matte cotton-linen plain weave with enough density to remain opaque over a concealed skin-tone inner layer. Include relaxed shoulders, long sleeves, a softly structured collar, small buttons, defined cuffs, and realistic seams. The top two buttons are undone; the remaining front stays closed. Add plain cream flat shoes. Preserve cloth texture and highlight detail.

Sky and environment:
Set the scene inside Beotgogae Tunnel, Yangpyeong, looking outward toward the exit on a clear, dry late-autumn night. Use dark curved tunnel framing in the foreground, the woman near the opening in the middle ground, and a low wooded ridge and open night sky beyond. Preserve supplied location-reference geometry when available; keep location references separate from the face reference. Do not invent steps, raised thresholds, railings, or decorative fixtures. Keep road and wall surfaces dry and matte. Add no props, vehicles, crowds, dense fog, or prominent moon.
The sky is an intentional accumulation of meteor events over time. Keep background stars pointlike. Make meteor streaks fine tapered lines of varied length and brightness, with projected directions consistent with one radiant outside the frame. Keep all trails behind the ridge, tunnel, and woman, visible only within unobstructed sky. No circular trails, explosions, thick fireballs, or magical beams. Only a few meteor trails punctuate the open sky.

Camera and composition:
Use a full-frame camera, 24mm lens, and f/4 subject exposure. Position the camera approximately 45cm above the road, 4–5m from the woman, gently tilted upward. Use environmental full-body framing including her head, hands, and both shoes. Place her near the left third, occupying about 40% of frame height, away from extreme lens edges. Leave generous sky above her head. Keep the tunnel arch legible and retain a large view of sky. Focus on the woman with believable near-wall softness; the registered sky plate retains point stars. No portrait-mode cutout or exaggerated close-range facial distortion.

Action and expression:
Have her stand facing the exit, seen mainly from behind with a restrained partial side profile. Turn her head slightly toward the visible side of the sky, not back toward the camera; lift her chin only a little. Let her shoulders settle, brows relax, and lips close without pressure. Both arms hang loosely, fingers naturally separated, wrists aligned. Keep her feet comfortably apart and planted; slightly more weight rests on one leg with a corresponding small pelvic shift. Her stillness conveys quiet anticipation rather than performance.

Light and physical response:
Let cool diffuse night-sky ambient weakly reach the exit-facing shoulder and upper fabric planes. Use one off-frame tungsten-colored light with a 60cm diffused face, positioned camera-left about 2m to her side-rear and 1.4m high, flagged to limit spill. It faintly catches the light-facing hair edge, shoulder, and sleeve, with matching amber spill on nearby wall and road. Keep her back center and opposite side darker. Do not use stars or meteor trails as a bright outline light. No uniform glowing contour or separate face fill.
A light breeze moves inward from the exit: free hair strands and the lower hem respond in the same direction, while the dress retains its weight. Keep the soles in contact with the road with grounded contact shadows. Let cloth hang from the shoulders and gather naturally around the weight-bearing hip.

Essential:
Show a still woman, dark tunnel frame, and sparse accumulated meteor streaks. Preserve the same recognizable facial identity wherever the face is visible.

Watermark:
Add the exact text “${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}” at bottom center with a safe bottom margin, fully inside the frame and clear of the feet. Use medium signature size and refined white calligraphic italic lettering, with fine hairlines and thicker downstrokes, connected lowercase letters, and a rightward slant. Preserve the copyright symbol and underscore. No outline, shadow, glow, box, or plaque.

Negative constraints:
No generic AI beauty face, identity blending, facial reshaping, age change, plastic skin, waxy smoothing, malformed hands, fused or extra fingers, unstable hairstyle, hair fused into face or clothing, clipped highlights, featureless white fabric, artificial HDR, CGI, aggressive sharpening, global bloom, crushed blacks, circular star trails, meteor streaks painted across tunnel walls or the subject, floating feet, or duplicated subject.

Parameters

Replace each placeholder with your own value, or use its default when one is provided.
