Use the adult woman in the attached face reference as the main subject. The reference is the most important guide to her identity. Preserve her actual eye, nose, and mouth size and shape; eye spacing; forehead and face proportions; cheekbones, cheeks, face shape, jawline, skin tone, natural asymmetry, and overall impression. Do not enlarge her eyes, shrink her nose or jaw, excessively slim her face, or reinterpret her as a conventional AI-beauty face. She must clearly look like the same person as the reference, even in an ordinary snapshot.

Maintain natural adult proportions throughout her head, neck, shoulders, chest, waist, and hips. Do not enlarge her head or face relative to her body, use portrait-like proportions, or create perspective distortion that makes her face seem closer to the camera. Show her at the natural distance of an everyday smartphone photo. Her body should not look excessively thin or straight: her waist narrows naturally into hips that are noticeably wider, with a soft, naturally full silhouette visible even beneath light-wash wide-leg jeans. Avoid both a narrow, flattened hip shape and an exaggerated hourglass figure; keep her proportions balanced and plausible.

Her face is almost frontal, at only a slight three-quarter angle. She is looking down toward the car and stream of water with her eyes, not turning her head far to the side. Both eyes, her nose, mouth, and jawline remain naturally visible; neither eye nor half her face is obscured. She is not looking at the camera.

The setting is a sunlit, late-afternoon neighborhood self-service car wash built in the 1980s and largely unrepaired since. It should feel like a worn place locals still use, not a stylized retro set. Show faded pale-green small square wall tiles with cracks, chips, yellowed grout, and old water stains; a worn hose, rusty faucet, aging coin-operated machine, and faint old Korean car-wash instructions. The rough gray concrete floor is wet, with small puddles, tire marks, scattered foam, and an old drain. An ordinary, well-used older passenger car is parked beside her.

She wears a simple ivory sleeveless top with modest white lace trim at the neckline, made of fully opaque fabric, and naturally faded light-wash wide-leg jeans. The top follows her natural fit and shows soft, natural upper-body volume. The jeans fit naturally at the waist and hips before falling loosely; they do not flatten her hips or hang straight down from her waist. Let the width of her hips and natural curve of her seat show subtly through the clothing. She wears silver hoop earrings, a small silver cross necklace, and a thin bracelet.

Her long, straight brown hair reaches below her waist and is loosely tied back with a black lace ribbon. Long bangs, a few strands around her face, and wisps at the nape have come loose naturally and look slightly disheveled from washing the car. Her hair lies naturally against her head, without excessive crown or side volume; its silhouette should not make her head look larger.

Give her natural Korean everyday makeup. Preserve skin texture and a natural flush instead of smoothing her skin into a doll-like finish. Her lips are naturally red, and her eyes are not artificially enlarged or dramatically emphasized.

She holds an old car-wash hose in one hand and sprays water at the lower part of the car door. Her other hand hangs comfortably at her side or lightly steadies the hose. Her expression is relaxed and unconcerned, neither smiling nor posing; she has barely noticed the photo being taken. She is not arching her back, pushing out her hips, or posing with her chest out. One knee is slightly bent and her weight shifts naturally to one side. This incidental stance lets one side of her waist-to-hip-to-thigh curve show a little more, without looking like she is deliberately displaying her figure. It should read as an ordinary posture while washing a car.

Capture the instant when a friend who came with her suddenly takes a smartphone photo of her washing her own car. It is an unplanned everyday snapshot, not a fashion shoot. Keep the camera at a natural smartphone distance and height, framing the flow of her body rather than moving close to her face or hair. She should not appear tiny or distant: from head to above the knees, she naturally occupies most of the frame. Her head, neck, shoulders, chest, waist, and sufficiently wide hips share consistent perspective. Avoid a face-centered portrait or upper-body close-up; this is a nearby, candid, above-the-knee snapshot of someone washing a car.

Use a vertical, above-the-knee composition. Tilt the frame noticeably but slightly off-level, as if her friend hurriedly raised a phone. Place her a little off-center, and let part of the car be awkwardly cropped by one edge. Do not push her too far to the side or make her appear distant. Keep her waist and hips sufficiently in frame to show her natural proportions.

Include subtle hand-held camera shake and slight focus inconsistency. Add a little natural motion blur to her moving hand, the hose, and splashing water. Keep her face at the ordinary focus level of a smartphone photo, without excessive sharpening. Strong late-afternoon sun may create natural smartphone lens flare in parts of the image; sunlight reflects irregularly from the wet ground and droplets. Avoid cinematic halos, dreamy lighting, excessive bokeh, and fashion-editorial styling.

The overall result should feel somewhat untidy and imperfect: a realistic moment from an ordinary late afternoon when her friend casually and unexpectedly took a picture. She is unaware of the camera. Do not turn this into a polished portrait, a posed fashion image, or a stylized retro scene. Preserve the reference identity without beautifying or turning her face aside, and retain her natural adult proportions and softly curved silhouette.

Add a small handwritten signature at the bottom: ${signature:hodumeru}.
