Use the uploaded photo as the sole source for the woman’s appearance. Preserve her likeness as closely as possible: facial features and shape, proportions, eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows, jawline, skin tone, hair color and texture, age, and other distinctive features. Do not alter her natural facial proportions.
A woman is positioned in the lower center of the frame, photographed waist-up from behind at a three-quarter angle. Her torso is slightly turned toward the camera, and her head is turned back over her left shoulder. She has relaxed shoulders and natural, graceful posture. Her head is tilted back, chin raised and angled toward her shoulder. Her eyes look back toward the camera; her expression is calm and relaxed, without a smile, and her lips are gently closed. Add subtle motion blur to her face and hair, as if she has just turned her head and was captured in a candid moment. She should seem to be enjoying the evening sea air; the pose should feel spontaneous and unposed.
She wears a fitted, minimalist black silk summer dress with straps and an open back down to the waist, leaving her shoulders bare. No logos or prints.
Her hair is loose, one length, and softly wavy, swept back and falling naturally down her back, partly covering it. Give it a slightly tousled, natural texture with a few distinct strands, like real hair after a seaside walk rather than a perfect salon style.
The background is open, dark sea with a horizon roughly at the level of her head or neck. The water is calm with small natural waves. No people, boats, buildings, or other objects.
An orange sunset glows and diffuses along the horizon. The sky is dark, deep gray-blue, with muted pink-brown and warm terracotta tones near the horizon and a very soft gradient. The mood is slightly melancholic, cinematic, intimate, and atmospheric.
Make it look as if photographed with a professional camera and flash. Add subtle natural film grain, slight softness, subtle motion blur, and a slight loss of sharpness at the frame edges. Keep skin natural, with visible texture, pores, and fine detail; avoid plastic-looking skin. Render the hair and sea with soft, natural detail.
Keep the woman mostly in focus, but do not make the image perfectly sharp. Softly blur the background; let the sea and horizon lose some detail. Add a very light dreamy blur characteristic of atmospheric low-light photography.
Use dark, muted film color grading, deep shadows, and low saturation. Contrast warm skin tones with the cool, dark sea. Add a subtle vintage effect and soft contrast while keeping colors natural. Avoid excessive processing and remove yellow color cast.
