Using the single uploaded photograph as the only reference, create a 3:4 vertical image pairing the original photograph with a Dunhuang mural-style colored illustration. Produce each image independently; do not create a collage or mix multiple images.

**Fixed layout:** Divide the canvas into exactly two equal-height sections, each occupying 50% of the canvas. The sections must be the same width and join seamlessly, with no border or gap. Do not add a third section.

**Top half — original photograph:** Preserve the original image directly. Only proportional scaling and cropping of nonessential background areas are allowed. Do not redraw, recolor, distort, add, or remove elements. Keep any existing text unchanged.

**Bottom half — Dunhuang mural reinterpretation:** Reinterpret the same scene as a finely crafted, colored comic illustration inspired by traditional Chinese Dunhuang murals. Strictly preserve the number of subjects, their identifying features, faces, poses, proportions, clothing, accessories, objects, and spatial relationships. Preserve animals’ species and body shapes, and retain the key structures of buildings and landscapes. Do not add people, props, plot elements, or decorations absent from the original photograph. Do not change modern clothing into historical clothing.

Use flowing dark ochre-brown linework and traditional mineral pigments such as azurite blue, malachite green, vermilion-ochre, earth yellow, and warm white. Keep the palette harmonious, bright, and calm. Use clean areas of flat color with subtle shading to suggest volume. Make the forms moderately planar, vary the density of the linework, and emphasize the subjects’ outlines and poses. Keep the surface finely textured and matte. Avoid coarse grain, heavy impasto, watercolor blooms, 3D rendering, and dirty or artificially aged effects.

**Composition and negative space:** The illustrated subjects should occupy about two-thirds of the lower section, with the remaining space reserved for margins and a title. Use a clean, warm-white art-paper background with only a subtle paper texture. Simplify the environment moderately. Derive any decoration only from elements already present in the photograph; do not overload the image with patterns. Keep the subjects away from the edges and large enough to remain clear.

**English title:** Based on the photograph’s subject, add a title of 1–3 English words. Use a rounded, elegant typeface with a slight handwritten quality and a color that harmonizes with the image. Place it lightly in the negative space without covering any subject or adding a separate title bar. Spell it correctly. Do not add Chinese text, supporting copy, seals, logos, or watermarks.

The final image should combine the traditional linework and mineral colors of Dunhuang murals with the clean composition of a modern art poster, conveying an Eastern aesthetic while keeping the subjects recognizable and the series visually consistent.
