Create an ultra-realistic, high-angle close-up outdoor selfie of a stylish young woman sitting on a luxurious Mediterranean-style terrace. Capture it from arm’s length with a slightly overhead smartphone camera angle.

The woman has a sleek, short bob with a soft middle part, glossy healthy volume, and a few loose strands across her face. Her makeup includes softly sculpted brows, elongated black eyeliner, wispy lashes, warm bronzed cheeks, subtle contour, and glossy muted rose-pink lips. She looks directly into the camera with a confident, sultry, relaxed expression and slightly parted lips.

She wears a fitted cream floral corset-style top with delicate faded pink and sage-green rose prints, a low square neckline, and wide shoulder straps. Pair it with a chocolate-brown draped skirt, with beige bottoms subtly visible underneath. Add gold hoop earrings, layered delicate gold necklaces with tiny charms, and a gold wristwatch.

Lighting and sun flare: Use strong, direct late-afternoon sunlight from the upper left, illuminating her face, shoulders, chest, and arms. Create a golden-hour glow with warm amber highlights, soft but clearly defined shadows, and natural sun-kissed skin. Preserve a distinctive sun flare with subtle golden light leaks, luminous sunlit edges on her hair, delicate lens haze, and bright reflective highlights. The sunlight should feel intense and authentic, with realistic shadow patterns across her body and the pale stone terrace. Avoid artificial studio lighting and excessive glow.

Camera and HDR: Use high-dynamic-range smartphone photography with HDR enabled and a wide-angle front-camera perspective, approximately 24mm equivalent. Keep the selfie distance close, with slightly distorted foreground proportions, crisp facial details, balanced exposure between bright sunlight and deep shadows, enhanced highlight recovery, rich shadow detail, natural skin texture, sharp jewelry reflections, realistic fabric textures, and a detailed background with foliage. Use warm white balance, golden highlights, slightly lifted shadows, rich natural contrast, subtle digital sharpening, and a polished yet authentic social-media aesthetic.

Background and composition: Show an elegant sunlit terrace with pale limestone flooring, cream stone balustrades, large classical white planters filled with pink flowers and green foliage, a black metal railing, and a muted urban street in the distance. Place a cream outdoor lounge chair with woven detailing on the left side of the frame. Maintain this composition: her face near the upper center, her body filling most of the frame, one arm extending toward the camera along the right edge, and the terrace visible from the elevated viewpoint.

Overall aesthetic: Ultra-realistic lifestyle photography with a warm Mediterranean summer mood, golden-hour sun flare, HDR clarity, natural imperfections, rich warm skin tones, subtle film-like softness, realistic highlights and shadows, an editorial influencer-selfie feel, and a candid luxury-vacation atmosphere. Use high detail and a vertical 4:5 composition.

Negative prompt: Flat lighting, overcast sky, cool color grading, missing sun flare, artificial glow, excessive orange saturation, blown-out facial highlights, plastic skin, over-smoothed skin, heavy beauty filters, altered facial proportions, a different hairstyle, a different outfit, distorted hands, unnatural anatomy, excessive sharpening, fake bokeh, cartoon rendering, or a CGI appearance.
