## Reference and identity preservation
Use the uploaded image as the primary visual, composition, pose, lighting, costume, and atmosphere reference. Prioritize preserving the original photograph and the subject’s identity over detail enhancement, when quality improvement is feasible.

When the reference is a real photograph, preserve the subject’s facial identity and natural facial proportions. Retain the original hairstyle, facial structure, skin tone, expression, and distinctive characteristics. Do not replace the subject with a generic AI-generated face.

## Subject and appearance
Depict a beautiful adult woman with long, silky jet-black hair, a natural center part, and flowing hair cascading over her shoulders and down her back. She has refined facial features, expressive brown eyes, naturally defined eyebrows, delicate lips, and realistic skin texture.

She gazes directly into the camera with a calm, mysterious, powerful expression, embodying the elegance of a dark romantic queen. Show natural skin pores, subtle facial imperfections, realistic hair strands, anatomically accurate hands, and lifelike proportions.

## Luxury gothic evening gown
Dress her in an exquisite deep burgundy-red evening gown featuring:
- A sophisticated V-shaped neckline and elegant sleeveless silhouette.
- Intricate burgundy sequins and tiny reflective embellishments covering the bodice and skirt.
- A fitted waist flowing into a luxurious, voluminous evening skirt.
- A dramatic cluster of deep crimson roses decorating one shoulder.
- Rich velvet-like visual depth combined with shimmering beadwork.
- Exquisite couture craftsmanship, realistic fabric folds, and premium luxury-fashion detailing.

The gown must look like a professionally constructed haute couture garment, not a digitally painted costume.

## Signature prop: the burning rose
Have the woman delicately hold a single long-stemmed crimson rose at the center of her chest. Surround the rose with elegant, realistic orange-gold flames that curl around its petals without obscuring the flower’s shape. Keep the stem green, with naturally detailed leaves.

Fine, translucent smoke rises in graceful swirling ribbons around the rose and across the right side of her hair. Let the fire illuminate her fingers, the rose petals, and the sequined gown with believable warm reflections. Preserve the natural appearance of her hands and fingers.

The burning rose symbolizes passion, heartbreak, rebirth, beauty, and a love that refuses to die.

## Environment and background
Set the portrait in a dark, dramatic environment filled with roaring orange and amber flames. Include deep black and charcoal shadows, tall tongues of fire rising behind the subject, wisps of drifting smoke, subtle atmospheric haze, glowing embers floating through the air, and rich crimson accents that complement the gown. Avoid distracting scenery or unnecessary objects.

Create dramatic contrast between the woman’s pale natural complexion, black hair, burgundy dress, and luminous golden fire.

## Pose and composition
Compose a centered, front-facing portrait. The woman stands elegantly and looks directly at the viewer. One hand gently supports the rose near her chest, while the other holds the stem lower down. Her fingers are relaxed and naturally positioned. Keep her shoulders elegant and relaxed. Her long hair frames her face and flows down one side of her body.

Use medium-to-three-quarter portrait framing to show her face, shoulders, hands, burning rose, and a substantial portion of the gown. Maintain balanced, symmetrical facial composition and the striking vertical arrangement of the reference image.

## Cinematic lighting and camera
Use professional cinematic portrait photography with warm firelight illuminating the face from the sides and below, soft controlled frontal fill light to preserve natural facial details, dramatic orange rim lighting along the hair and shoulders, realistic reflections across the sequins, and deep shadows with preserved detail. Use shallow depth of field with softly blurred flames, an 85mm portrait-lens aesthetic, natural perspective, and precise focus on the eyes. Apply filmic color grading with rich burgundy, burnt orange, amber, and deep black tones.

## Visual quality
Create a premium gothic fashion editorial with dark romantic fantasy atmosphere and luxury couture photography. Use physically plausible fire and smoke, realistic skin texture, intricate embroidery and sequins, lifelike hair, natural anatomy, and refined cinematic contrast.

Keep detail high without excessive HDR, artificial skin smoothing, oversharpening, or an exaggerated AI-generated appearance.

## Negative constraints
Do not introduce identity drift, face morphing, plastic skin, excessive beautification, altered facial proportions, de-aging, distorted hands, extra fingers, fused fingers, duplicate roses, malformed flower petals, a floating stem, unnatural fire patterns, cartoon effects, anime aesthetics, excessive glow, distracting typography, or unwanted logos.

## Official watermark
Add the exact text “${watermark-text:Gotcha GothiQue}” in small, elegant fantasy handwriting with decorative gothic flourishes and delicate ornamental details. Make the lettering artistic, subtle, slightly faded, and naturally integrated into the composition. Place it in the lower-left or lower-right corner, legible but not distracting from the subject, gown, or burning rose. Do not add any other text, signature, or watermark.

## Final image
The image should show a mysterious gothic queen in a sparkling burgundy couture gown, holding a burning crimson rose amid swirling smoke and cinematic flames. Make it feel elegant, powerful, melancholic, luxurious, and timeless—like an award-winning dark-romantic fantasy fashion campaign.
