Editorial: Surreal Editorial — Ethereal Dream, A Fairy in Data Space.

Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 image, one continuous composition with clean digital photographic aesthetics. Use restrained clarity, gentle contrast, smooth highlight rolloff and distinct pastel lavender, mint, peach-pink and soft-gold separation. The adult person, fabric and formed petals have believable photographic texture within an intentionally impossible data environment. No analog film simulation, added grain, artificial HDR, aggressive sharpening or global bloom.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman's person reference as the sole facial identity source. Preserve the same recognizable facial anatomy, underlying skin tone, adult age impression, natural asymmetry and distinctive identity cues without redesign or idealization. Preserve reference-visible body proportions; otherwise use plausible adult anatomy without invented measurements. Multiple reference views depict one person. Reference exposure, catchlights, pose, clothes and background do not define this scene.

Hair:
REFERENCE-HAIR PRESERVE MODE. Preserve reference-visible length, color, texture, curl pattern, parting, fringe, tied or loose structure, root volume and overall hairstyle silhouette. Only free strands respond with restrained near-zero-gravity drift. Preserve secured structures and keep the facial features readable.

Scene and Environment:
An adult woman watches a data-born dahlia reassemble above her open palm, lightly touching one already formed outer petal with the opposite index fingertip. Express focused curiosity and quiet delight.
The setting is an infinite floorless digital space without walls, horizon, terrestrial sky or actual water. Earthly season, weather and time do not apply. No rain, fog or strong wind.
Lavender dominates, distant mint creates depth, peach-pink defines the nearby flower, and soft gold is limited to its center and sparse data sparks.

Background and Flower:
Leave the foreground clear. Place the woman and principal flower in the middle plane. Keep a quiet lavender region behind the face; only a few small blurred dahlias and short code trails appear in the distant peripheral background.
Small luminous 01, 10 and <> fragments suggest butterfly-like flight paths, without literal insects or large interfaces.
The principal stemless dahlia is approximately 16–20 cm across, with a dense center and many concentric overlapping peach-lavender petals. Preserve delicate petal thickness, folds and translucent margins.
At its outer screen-right edge only, show detached tiny square particles at the farthest edge, half-formed petal shapes closer in, and complete petals joining the flower. Depict one frozen reassembly stage. Keep the center and most petals intact.
The touching fingertip meets an already complete petal on the opposite side, separate from the reassembly zone. Fragments remain separate from skin; no hand or face pixelation.

Camera and Composition:
Waist-up medium shot including the complete head, shoulders, both elbows, both hands and waist seam. Full-frame-equivalent 85 mm lens, approximately f/8; adjust distance for this crop and natural perspective. Camera at upper-chest height, nearly horizontal.
Place the top of the head about 14–16% below the top edge. Position the face slightly left of center in the upper portion, and the flower with both hands lower and slightly right of center. Create a clear diagonal face-to-flower relationship.
Crop deliberately just below the waist seam. Keep all fingers, wrists and elbows inside the frame with clear space around their contours and lower room for the signature.
Keep face, hands, flower and touching fingertip at limited front-to-back separation so all remain readable within focal depth. Leave an open gap between flower and chin. Background softness increases with actual distance behind the subject.

Pose and Expression:
SCREEN-LEFT and SCREEN-RIGHT refer to the viewer's sides; anatomical labels refer to her body.
Her torso turns slightly toward screen-right. Shoulders stay relaxed with coherent arm attachment.
Her anatomical left forearm rises from screen-right, holding the left hand palm-up below chest level. Fingers gently open, wrist neutral. The dahlia floats 5–8 cm above this palm, with a clearly visible air gap. The palm does not touch or support it.
Her anatomical right hand approaches from screen-left and slightly above the flower. Only the right index fingertip lightly touches an already formed petal on the flower's upper-left rim. Other fingers remain softly curled and distinct.
Show minimal local petal deflection at the contact. The finger does not pierce, pinch, grip or merge with the flower. Both hands remain away from the face.
Lower her chin only slightly to look at the flower while keeping both eyes and major facial landmarks readable. Softly open eyelids, gently focused gaze, relaxed brows, subtly raised cheeks, slightly parted lips with small lifted corners and released jaw.
Free hair strands and sleeve fabric drift gently toward screen-left. The bodice, lining and waist seam remain secured.

Wardrobe:
Light lavender holographic organza dress with fine sheer plain weave, round neckline, comfortable fitted bodice, natural waist seam, translucent long sleeves with narrow cuffs and layered ankle-length outer skirt extending below the crop. Continuous opaque lavender lining covers torso, pelvis and upper thighs.
Fine seams and narrow rolled hems remain visible. Peach and mint iridescence follows fabric angle without obscuring the lining. Folds originate at shoulders, elbows, cuffs and waist attachments. Loose layers float while bodice and lining remain secured. No jewelry, wings or head ornament.

Makeup:
Sheer neutral satin base preserving natural skin texture. Softly groomed brows with visible hairs, pale lavender-peach micro-shimmer on mobile lids, thin brown lash-root liner, separated lashes, sheer peach upper-cheek blush and translucent rose-peach satin lips.
Replace conflicting source makeup as surface color, texture and reflectance only. Preserve anatomy, underlying skin tone, marks and adult age. Shimmer responds to the declared light rather than glowing independently.

Lighting:
A broad lavender-white emissive data veil outside the frame above camera-left, about 3 m away with a 4 m luminous span, provides diffuse light across the left-facing face, neck, hands, dress and flowers. Right-facing planes remain gently darker. There is no floor or wall bounce.
A much weaker distant mint luminous region behind camera-right colors only surfaces facing it, without a continuous body outline. No extra frontal fill.
The dahlia emits weak peach light strongest on the upward-facing left palm and nearby inward-facing fingers, with a weaker influence beneath the chin. Distance and occlusion reduce its light. At the fingertip contact, finger and petal occlusion interrupt the glow with a small soft shadow.
Skin stays softly satin, organza has angle-dependent iridescence, and petals retain layered shadows.
Sparse intrinsic light flecks on fingertips and selected forearm contours, plus faint luminous threads in the outer dress, are deliberate local fantasy emissions. Keep solid facial and body volume; no transparent anatomy or painted halo.
Catchlights and makeup reflections follow the dominant upper-left source and viewing angle. Preserve highlights and one coherent exposure and color treatment. Do not separately brighten or neutralize the face.

Essential Anchors:
Maintain the same recognizable facial identity from the designated reference. Prioritize readable face–hands–flower relationships, the open bloom-to-palm gap, separate index-finger contact and localized petal reassembly. Keep anatomy, garment attachments, touch, optical perspective and lighting coherent within the deliberate near-zero-gravity fantasy.

Watermark:
Add the exact text “ⓒyulim_mood” at bottom center. Medium size, approximately twice a small signature treatment, clean white elegant calligraphic italic with thin hairlines, thicker downstrokes and rightward slant. Preserve every character and underscore, with a safe bottom margin. No outline, shadow, glow, box or other graphic captions.

Negative Prompt:
plastic skin, beauty-filter face, waxy smoothing, malformed hands, fused or extra fingers, oversized eyes, perfect facial symmetry, face redesign, identity blending, alternate person, unstable hair length, hair fused with skin or clothes, rigid floating hair mass, clipped highlights, artificial HDR, CGI-looking person, transparent anatomy, facial glitch, code covering the face, literal butterfly wings, large interfaces, violent glitch corruption, duplicated subject, collage, split-screen, flower resting on the palm, petals penetrating fingers, hidden contact point, cropped wrists or elbows, hands covering the face, unreadably blurred flower.
