Create an 8K-resolution photorealistic image of a real human—not anime, a painting, an illustration, or a game graphic. The face must match the attached reference photo exactly.

A beautiful young woman is partially concealed between two large, old tree trunks. Only half of her face is visible: one eye, the side of her nose, her lips, and part of her forehead. She looks directly at the camera with a wary, curious, slightly mysterious expression. Her skin appears subtly damp, with fine droplets of water on her forehead and cheeks, as if she has just been in the rain or is in a humid forest. Her dark, slightly wet hair falls naturally and disheveled along the side of her face, with a few strands adhering to her skin. Her visible eye is wide open, clear, and sharp, catching a faint reflection of the surrounding light; it should look lifelike and filled with suppressed emotion.

Environment: A dark, damp forest. On the right, an old tree trunk has a rough, deeply textured surface, with dark brown bark blended with deep, intense blue and clearly defined grooves and cracks. In the left background, soft, blurred silhouettes of other tree trunks create profound, mysterious depth. The setting evokes a dense forest at night or a shaded area shielded from direct sunlight: cool, tranquil, and shrouded in mystery.

Color palette: Use natural colors, leaning toward darker tones while remaining rich and lifelike. Skin has natural tones touched by a faint greenish-blue ambient reflection—not pure blue—and remains recognizably human. Tree bark is deep, dark brown with cool blue undertones in the shadows and subtle mossy-green hints in the crevices. Hair is jet black with soft blue highlights. The primary light is a gentle greenish-blue, reminiscent of moonlight or faint light filtering through the canopy. Shadows are deep, intense blue rather than pure black. Do not use unnatural or neon colors, artificial glowing eyes, or excessive blue filters; blue tones should read only as reflections of the ambient environment, and the skin must retain a natural human appearance.

Lighting: A soft, low-angle light source from the front-left illuminates the visible side of the face—the forehead, bridge of the nose, cheekbone, and lips. A tree trunk’s shadow obscures the right side of the face, creating dramatic contrast while retaining visible detail in darker areas. Water droplets on the skin and bark glisten subtly where the light catches them. Avoid harsh or blinding light; use soft, restrained illumination typical of deep woods.

Composition and mood: Use a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio and a close-up focused on half of the face and a tree trunk. The atmosphere is mysterious, vigilant, silent, secretive, calm yet tense, conveying hidden beauty and quiet, latent power.

Make all textures authentic: rough, rugged grooves in aged tree bark; fine, vivid, moist-looking water droplets on the skin; delicate strands of hair clinging to the face; smooth skin that retains natural pores; and clear, lifelike, remarkably real eyes. The image should be original and contain no text or logo.
