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. Create an emotional peak with a richer accumulation of fine meteor trails, leaving enough dark sky between lines to retain clarity.

Camera and composition:
Use a full-frame camera, 28mm lens, and f/4 subject exposure. Position the camera approximately 65cm above the road, about 3m from the woman, looking diagonally outward with a gentle upward tilt. Frame her full body, including raised fingertips, entire head, and both shoes. Place her near the right third, occupying about 55–60% of frame height. Let her raised arm lead into upper-central negative space. Keep her face and hand away from extreme lens edges and leave clear margins around her head and fingertips. Preserve an unobstructed view of the sky within the arch.
Focus on her face, with facial landmarks and raised hand sufficiently readable; retain believable optical depth and an aligned point-star sky plate. No artificial background blur or close-up wide-angle distortion.

Action and expression:
Turn her torso halfway toward the camera while her face turns upward toward the sky, allowing a readable near-three-quarter side view. Her anatomical left foot takes a small step toward the exit while the right foot retains stable weight. Raise her anatomical left arm diagonally toward open sky, slightly above shoulder height, with a softly bent elbow. Keep the wrist aligned with the forearm without a sharp kink; angle the palm upward and keep all five fingers loosely separated. Let her right arm rest naturally beside her body.
Her gaze follows past her fingertips toward the sky. Keep her eyelids attentive without an exaggerated startled opening, brows relaxed, lips barely parted, and cheeks carrying a trace of wonder. Keep her hand clear of her face. Leave a visible gap between fingertips and the brightest trail so the meteor does not appear to originate from her hand.

Light and physical response:
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 control spill. Her turned head brings one cheek and the side of her neck into its soft oblique light; the raised forearm and sleeve catch the same amber. Let matching light reach a nearby patch of wall and road. Keep the opposite cheek in cool low-light shadow. Weak blue sky ambient reaches upward-facing hand and dress planes. Add small eye reflections only where this light can physically reflect; no invented frontal catchlight.
A brief inward breeze from the exit lifts the lower hem and loose hair strands in the same direction. Keep face and hand clearly readable while only sleeve tips and hem suggest movement. Raising the arm creates tension from shoulder through sleeve and underarm. Keep the button placket closed below the top two buttons. Keep shoes grounded, with coherent leg, pelvis, and shoulder balance.

Essential:
Show one natural reaching gesture, a readable face, and dense yet delicate meteor accumulation. Keep the same recognizable facial identity from the designated reference.

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.
