Editorial: Contemporary Fashion Editorial — Fall in Quebec: The Golden Hour.

Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 photorealistic fashion portrait of one adult woman holding one red maple leaf beneath autumn trees in the Plains of Abraham, Quebec City. Show one continuous scene. Capture digitally and color-grade to evoke Kodak Portra 400: restrained saturation, gentle midtone contrast, fine organic grain, natural skin color separation, and smooth highlight rolloff. Use burgundy red, burnt orange, honey gold, mocha brown, and black. Golden warmth belongs primarily to sunlit surfaces; preserve calmer sky-lit facial shadows. No artificial HDR, global bloom, or aggressive sharpening.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman's reference image as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve her actual facial-feature shapes, sizes, positions, and proportions; underlying skin tone; apparent age; natural asymmetry; and distinctive marks. Let the reference define facial anatomy directly. Do not beautify, idealize, reshape, blend identities, or substitute a generic fashion-model face. Do not make her younger or older, erase age cues, or add age-changing wrinkles. Preserve body proportions visible in the reference; otherwise use plausible anatomy without invented measurements. The reference's lighting, clothing, and makeup do not define this scene.

Hair:
REFERENCE-HAIR PRESERVE MODE. Preserve the reference-visible hair length, color, texture, curl, parting, fringe, tied or loose structure, volume, and overall silhouette. Allow only natural responses to gravity, clothing contact, and a light breeze.

Scene and Environment:
On a sheltered park path in late afternoon, she has lifted a fallen maple leaf to study it and now quietly meets the camera's gaze. Use a romantic late-autumn canopy with remaining red and yellow leaves and fallen foliage on the ground. Preserve the impression of a real urban park rather than an endless fantasy forest. A light breeze moves a few exposed hair strands and leaf tips. The fairy-like mood comes from expression, translucent foliage, and selective backlight.

Foreground, Background, and Prop:
One nearby maple branch frames the top and one upper corner, separated from her crown by visible breathing room. Keep all foliage clear of her eyes, nose, lips, and jaw. Several meters behind her, tree trunks and autumn foliage dissolve progressively into warm optical bokeh. Use exactly ONE naturally shaped red maple leaf with visible veins, pointed lobes, and an intact slender stem.

Wardrobe and Makeup:
She wears a plain black round-neck knit beneath a mocha-brown tailored wool jacket. The jacket has a matte woven surface, substantial fabric weight, defined lapels, shoulder seams, and natural compression at the elbows. Charcoal slacks and dark-brown ankle boots are worn below the crop.
Apply a thin soft-satin base preserving pores and natural tonal differences; gently groomed brows; muted ginger-taupe eyeshadow; a fine brown lash-root line; separated mascara; sheer muted apricot-rose blush; and translucent rose-brick lips. Restrict very fine champagne shimmer to a small area on the central upper eyelids, reflecting only where the declared light reaches it. No enlarged lips or reshaped eyes.

Action, Contact, and Expression:
Keep her shoulders lowered and relaxed, head tilted only a few degrees, face almost frontal, and gaze directed into the lens. Her eyelids are comfortably open, brows unknitted, cheeks calm, lips softly closed, and jaw released. Convey quiet curiosity rather than a broad smile.
Her anatomical right thumb and index finger gently pinch the lower stem of the leaf; the remaining right fingers curl naturally. Her left fingertips lightly support the underside of the right hand, without gripping or duplicating the stem. Keep both wrists near neutral and elbows close to the torso.
Turn the broad leaf face slightly toward the camera. Place the highest leaf tip 2–3 cm BELOW the lower lip, leaving a clear visible gap. The leaf and hands must not cover her mouth, nose, or eyes. Hold the leaf close to the facial focal plane, slightly beneath the chin rather than far forward toward the lens. Its stem remains visibly continuous into the pinching fingers.

Camera and Composition:
Use a full-frame camera, 85mm lens, approximately f/4, and a distance around 1.7–2 m. Use bust framing that includes the entire crown, full face, shoulders, both hands, the complete leaf, and torso to below the bust. Leave clear headroom beneath the framing foliage. Position her near the center, with hands gathered within the lower middle of the image, fully above the bottom crop.
Focus so both eyes, major facial landmarks, pinching fingers, and leaf shape remain readable. The shallow-looking background comes primarily from the several-meter separation behind her. Do not use razor-thin focus that dissolves the far eye or fingertips.

Lighting and Physical Coherence:
A low sun at camera-right/rear shines through gaps between branches. Occlusion produces selective golden highlights on exposed hair strands, the sun-facing jacket shoulder, and parts of the leaf. Do not draw a luminous outline around the entire body.
Broad open-sky illumination from the path in front makes the face readable but visibly dimmer than the bright backlit edges. Preserve natural shading below the chin and beneath the hands; do not neutralize or brighten the face separately.
Thin leaf margins transmit warm red-orange light; finger-occluded areas remain darker. Matte wool produces broad restrained highlights, distinct from leaf transmission and small skin reflections. Keep any natural lens flare faint and near a frame corner, never across her facial landmarks. Eye reflections correspond to the sky opening, not an invented ring light.

Essential Anchors:
Show exactly one leaf, a visible gap below the lips, two anatomically valid hands with separate roles, and an unobstructed full face. Maintain the same recognizable facial identity from the designated reference.

Watermark:
Add the exact watermark “${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}” at the bottom center, precisely centered horizontally with a safe bottom margin. Use a medium-size refined white calligraphic italic signature, thin hairlines, thicker downstrokes, connected lowercase letters, and a pronounced rightward slant. Keep every character and the underscore readable. No outline, shadow, glow, box, or background plaque.

Negative:
Plastic skin, beauty-filter face, waxy smoothing, artificial wet-look skin, malformed hands, fused or extra fingers, oversized eyes, perfect facial symmetry, identity blending, alternate person, face redesign, clipped highlights, CGI rendering, artificial HDR, over-sharpening, unstable hairstyle, hair fused into skin or clothing, multiple leaves in the hands, leaf covering lips or nose, stem penetrating fingers, flare washing out the face, cropped crown, or cropped hands.
