Create an image using the uploaded image as the primary identity reference.

## Identity and facial preservation
If the photograph features a dog or another pet, preserve its exact recognizable appearance, breed characteristics, natural fur colors, markings, eye color, facial structure, nose, ears, whiskers, and distinctive features. If it features a person, preserve their recognizable facial identity, natural skin tone, apparent age, facial proportions, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, hairstyle, hair color, and distinctive characteristics. Maintain realistic skin pores, fine lines, natural fur or hair textures, and authentic anatomy. Do not de-age, excessively beautify, reshape, or replace the subject’s face.

## Style and atmosphere
Create an extraordinarily detailed, ultra-photorealistic outdoor lifestyle portrait inspired by humorous pet photography, playful summer food photography, premium wildlife portraiture, and professional editorial photography. Capture a charming, spontaneous moment of irresistible curiosity and watermelon-loving mischief beside a peaceful lake. The atmosphere is bright, cheerful, refreshing, playful, heartwarming, and naturally beautiful.

## Composition and posing
Use a vertical 4:5 composition featuring an extreme close-up, eye-level portrait. Position the subject directly behind an enormous, freshly cut watermelon slice that occupies approximately the lower 60% of the image. Place the subject’s face immediately above the watermelon, centered horizontally, with their chin, mouth, or muzzle playfully resting against its juicy upper edge.

For a dog or pet, emphasize oversized expressive eyes, a prominently visible nose, relaxed ears, and a humorous, eager expression. For a person, recreate the playful watermelon-peeking composition while keeping the face naturally proportioned and completely recognizable. The subject looks directly into the camera, creating an intimate, amusing connection with the viewer.

## Watermelon details
Feature an enormous slice of ripe, intensely red watermelon extending across the foreground and toward the bottom corners. Capture extraordinarily realistic watermelon flesh with glistening moisture, translucent red fibers, natural irregularities, tiny bite marks, crushed fruit textures, delicate juice droplets, and subtle surface reflections. Show the pale white rind transitioning naturally into vivid green outer skin along the right edge. Keep the watermelon visually dominant without obscuring the subject’s eyes or nose.

## Outdoor background
Replace the original background with a beautiful summer lakeside landscape. Include lush green grass immediately behind the subject, a peaceful blue lake reflecting natural daylight, and a distant shoreline bordered by leafy summer trees. Add softly blurred branches and foliage near the upper corners. Create beautiful circular bokeh highlights where sunlight filters through the leaves. Keep the background heavily defocused to separate the sharply focused subject from the dreamy environment.

## Lighting and colors
Use bright, natural summer daylight with soft directional illumination, gentle shadows, realistic highlights, and balanced exposure. Capture warm sunlight across the subject’s face, delicate catchlights in the eyes, subtle glossy reflections on the nose, and sparkling highlights across the moist watermelon. Maintain vibrant crimson reds, rich grassy greens, natural warm brown tones, and softly muted lake blues. Avoid harsh artificial lighting, excessive saturation, and unnatural HDR effects.

## Camera and photographic settings
Simulate professional full-frame photography with a 35mm wide-angle lens, approximately f/2.0 aperture, ISO 100, and a 1/500-second shutter speed. Position the camera extremely close to the subject at eye level, creating gently exaggerated foreground perspective with a prominent nose or face and oversized watermelon. Maintain tack-sharp focus on the eyes, nose, facial details, and nearby watermelon textures, transitioning into beautifully creamy background bokeh. Preserve natural optical depth, realistic lens characteristics, and exceptional photographic clarity.

## Texture and realism
Render individual fur strands, whiskers, authentic skin pores where applicable, natural eye reflections, microscopic moisture droplets, realistic fruit fibers, translucent watermelon flesh, grass textures, soft lake reflections, and delicate foliage highlights. If clothing is visible, preserve realistic fabric weave, folds, seams, and material textures. Maintain physically believable anatomy, natural proportions, and lifelike integration with the environment.

## Final image quality
Create ultra-photorealistic, high-resolution professional photography with exceptionally detailed textures, natural photographic color grading, beautiful foreground-to-background separation, and an authentic spontaneous expression. Use a vertical portrait composition with full-frame-height emphasis and a cinematic poster layout. Do not include illustrations, cartoons, exaggerated facial alterations, artificial-looking features, text, logos, watermarks, borders, or social media interface elements.
