## Identity and facial preservation
Use the uploaded person's photograph as the definitive facial identity reference. Preserve their recognizable facial structure, proportions, apparent age, natural skin tone, eye color, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, hairline, and distinctive characteristics. Do not replace, idealize, reshape, excessively beautify, or artificially age their face. Maintain authentic facial anatomy and natural skin texture. Adapt the hairstyle and wet appearance while preserving the person's recognizable identity.

## Style and atmosphere
Create an ultra-photorealistic, cinematic fine-art beauty portrait featuring an intimate water-level close-up of a person's face partially submerged in a tranquil body of water. Capture the mesmerizing interplay of sparkling water droplets, wet hair, luminous skin, and warm golden sunlight. The atmosphere is mysterious, sensual, peaceful, emotionally captivating, and richly atmospheric, resembling luxury editorial beauty photography.

## Composition and framing
Create a vertical 4:5 extreme close-up portrait photographed at water level. Position the subject on the right side of the composition, with approximately half of their face visible and occupying 50% of the entire canvas. Crop dramatically through the center of the face, allowing the visible eye, eyebrow, cheek, partial nose, and lips to dominate the right half. The opposite half features softly blurred blue-gray water, delicate atmospheric haze, and luminous reflections.

Turn the subject's face 15 degrees toward the viewer's left, with the eyes also directed 15 degrees left, creating an engaging, subtly contemplative gaze. Keep the visible eye near the upper-right third, with the lips positioned toward the lower-right quadrant. The extreme close-up intentionally crops portions of the forehead, hair, and outer facial contours. The waterline crosses the lower chin and mouth area, with the surrounding water filling the foreground.

## Facial details and expression
Capture one exceptionally sharp, expressive eye with realistic iris fibers, natural pupil geometry, tiny catchlights, individual eyelashes, and beautifully defined eyebrows. Preserve the person's natural eye color and distinctive features. Maintain a relaxed, slightly parted mouth and a quietly intense, contemplative expression. Reveal realistic pores, fine facial hairs, subtle skin variations, and intricate water droplets scattered across the forehead, eyelids, cheeks, nose, and lips.

## Hair and water
Style the hair as naturally wet, darkened by moisture, with individual damp strands clinging to the forehead, temples, and cheeks. Loose strands curve across the face and extend into the surrounding water. Preserve the subject's natural hairline, texture, and recognizable hairstyle wherever visible.

Render hundreds of realistic water droplets in varied sizes, including microscopic beads, larger spherical droplets, surface tension, translucent highlights, and delicate reflections. The subject appears naturally immersed in water, with convincing refraction, tiny ripples, fluid displacement, and shimmering reflections around the chin and hair.

## Lighting and color
Illuminate the portrait with warm, low-angle golden sunlight shining from the viewer's left toward the right. The sunlight grazes the wet face, producing brilliant amber highlights, sparkling droplets, luminous skin, and delicate golden reflections along individual hair strands.

Create deep but natural cinematic shadows on the right side of the face, with subtle reflected illumination preserving facial detail. Balance glowing honey-gold, bronze, warm caramel, and copper skin highlights against cool slate blue, muted teal, charcoal, and soft steel-gray water tones.

Add delicate golden bokeh sparkles across the foreground water, restrained atmospheric haze, and softly blurred reflected sunlight in the background. Preserve natural contrast, realistic specular highlights, and rich tonal depth without excessive HDR processing.

## Camera and photographic settings
Simulate professional full-frame photography using a 100mm macro portrait lens at f/2.8, ISO 100, 1/1000-second shutter speed, and approximately eye-level, water-surface camera positioning. Focus critically on the visible eye, eyelashes, nearby skin texture, and selected water droplets. Allow the hair, distant facial edges, background water, and foreground reflections to transition gradually into creamy cinematic bokeh.

Use shallow depth of field, natural telephoto compression, realistic optical rendering, exceptional microcontrast, and professional editorial color grading. Maintain lifelike anatomy, realistic wet-skin reflectivity, and physically accurate water behavior.

## Final rendering
Create an ultra-photorealistic 8K-quality appearance, with exquisite skin microtexture, lifelike eyes, individual wet hair strands, realistic translucent droplets, natural facial proportions, authentic reflections, and sophisticated cinematic lighting. Do not include illustration, a CGI appearance, plastic skin, artificial facial smoothing, exaggerated eyelashes, distorted facial features, unnatural pupils, duplicated droplets, text, logos, or watermarks.

Use a 4:5 aspect ratio. Create a vertical portrait composition with full-frame height emphasis and a cinematic poster layout.
