Editorial: Narrative Editorial — Memories Reflected on the Pond

Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 9:16 photoreal live-action photograph of ONE adult woman. Captured digitally and color-graded to evoke Kodak Vision3 500T: natural separation between cool ink-blue night and warm amber practicals, restrained lavender, moderate organic grain, gentle highlight rolloff, and deep readable shadows. Preserve underlying skin color within the illumination. Use one coherent exposure, white balance, perspective, and texture treatment across woman, stone, clothing, and water. No global bloom, artificial HDR, crushed blacks, or painterly surfaces.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman's reference as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve her actual facial features, 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, standardize, blend identities, substitute a generic fashion-model face, or make her younger or older. Preserve reference-visible body proportions; where unseen, use plausible adult anatomy without invented measurements. Reference pose, clothing, lighting, and background are not constraints.

Hair:
TARGET-HAIR FULL REPLACEMENT MODE. Fully replace reference hair with naturally dark black-brown straight hair, a short shallow center part, no bangs, and fine temple wisps. Secure ONE rounded, voluminous high bun at the crown. Reserve one separate section from the lower back of the head for ONE braid over her anatomical RIGHT shoulder, ending at mid-chest. Side and nape hair are gathered neatly; no additional loose hair falls down her back.
Use original Silla-inspired hair ornaments: one small gold trembling ornament at the center of the bun, slender silver floral hairpins on both sides, and two pale lavender dwarf irises behind the bun. Short gold chains hang behind the temples and do not obscure the face.
The bun stays anchored; only wisps, braid tip, and pendant tips respond to the faint breeze. Remove conflicting source-hair features.

Wardrobe:
Original Korean Silla-inspired aristocratic clothing. Reinterpret it through contemporary Korean costume design rather than presenting it as an exact historical reconstruction.
A pale lavender silk jeogori-style top extends to the waist. It has a neatly arranged collar following the neckline, a diagonally overlapping front closure, and short fastening ties secured near the woman's right side. The top's hem covers the skirt's waist fastening and upper section. Add small auspicious floral and arabesque motifs embroidered in gold and silver thread on the collar, cuffs, and front panels.
A full, long pleated skirt fastened at the waist transitions from pale lavender at the top to deep purple at the hem. Its lower section has restrained gold lotus and cloud motifs. It is not a skirt pulled up and fastened above the chest.
Layer a thin pale lavender silk-gauze outer garment with silver edging over the outfit, using actual shoulder and sleeve construction. Do not create long fabric bands floating independently from the arms. Cover the body with opaque undergarments and lining.
A deep plum sash at the natural waist with small gilt-bronze ornaments; jade beads and small gold bells at the woman's left hip. A pair of gold-chain earrings with small comma-shaped jade pendants; a multi-strand necklace of comma-shaped jade and glass beads partly visible above the collar; one slim gold bracelet on the right wrist; and low pale lavender silk shoes.
Maintain the specified Korean garment construction. Do not substitute Chinese hanfu, qipao, Chinese imperial robes, chest-high tied skirts, or Chinese historical-drama styling.

Makeup:
Sheer neutral satin base retaining natural texture and tonal variation, groomed brows with visible hair strokes, diffused lavender-mauve eyeshadow, a fine brown tightline, separated natural lashes, minute silver-white shimmer limited to outer eyelids, faint peach-rose blush, and rose-mauve satin lips within their actual outline. No forehead decoration. Makeup changes surface color, texture, and reflectance only.

Scene:
A clear, cool, deep night in a Korean palace garden evoking 동궁과 월지. A woman sits securely on a LOW, broad stone bank, looking at her wavering reflection. The stone supports her pelvis and thighs. Water lies only a short distance below the seat, reachable by a naturally lowered arm.
Low dwarf irises and narrow leaves occupy a foreground margin. Woman and pond form the middle layer; pine silhouettes and small amber palace lamps recede behind them. No ghost, second person, memory montage, or double exposure.

Camera and Performance:
Full-frame camera, 70mm lens, f/4, approximately 5m away across a narrow inlet. Camera is slightly above water level, looking gently downward. Seated medium framing includes the complete hair arrangement through the knee area and part of the reflection below.
Place the actual woman in the upper portion and her reflected face and upper jacket below, according to the water's real viewing geometry. Do not force copied mirror symmetry.
Her pelvis and thighs remain supported by dry stone. Both knees bend together toward one side. Incline her torso slightly toward the pond, keeping her center of gravity over the bank.
Lower her RIGHT arm naturally; only the index and middle fingertips touch the surface. Thumb and remaining fingers stay relaxed above it. Her LEFT thumb and index hold ONE small cut iris by its stem, with the hand resting on her thigh.
She looks down toward the reflection beside her right fingertips. Eyelids lowered, brow quiet, lips lightly closed. The skirt spreads over dry stone beside her, with its hem clear of the pond.

Lighting and Physical Response:
Distant, elevated silver-white moonlight from across the pond touches upper facial planes, shoulders, convex skirt folds, and stone tops consistently. The underside of her chin remains darker. Water introduces only subtle reflected variation near the lowered hand and sleeve, without strong facial uplighting.
Distant lantern reflections align with the lanterns' positions. Small concentric ripples originate exactly at the two touching fingertips. Reflections correspond to the real woman, flower, and hands, and distort only where ripples pass. Preserve recognizable identity in any readable reflected face; do not introduce another person.
Water highlights are short reflective strokes, not floating glitter. Fabric compresses beneath her pelvis and bends over the stone edge under gravity. A faint breeze shifts only loose gauze ends. Do not place a moon reflection across her reflected face.

Essential Anchors:
Maintain the recognizable reference identity, high bun, single RIGHT-shoulder braid, and defined Korean garments. Preserve seated support, reachable water height, valid finger contact, correctly positioned ripples and reflections, dry skirt placement, contact shadows, and optical depth.

Watermark:
Add exactly "${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}" at bottom center as a white graphic overlay with moderate opacity, medium signature size, and safe bottom margin. Refined calligraphic italic, thin hairlines, thicker downstrokes, connected lowercase letters, pronounced rightward slant. Preserve every character and underscore. No outline, shadow, glow, box, or additional lettering.

Negative:
Face redesign, age change, identity blending, plastic skin, malformed anatomy, fused or extra fingers, excessively long arm, unsupported sitting, hand penetrating water unnaturally, duplicated body, unrelated reflected face, impossible mirror symmetry, unstable hair structure, conflicting source hairstyle, floating fabric ribbons, unjustified frontal fill, glowing outline, face-only white balance, CGI, excessive sharpening, collage, split screen.

Parameters

Replace each placeholder with your own value, or use its default when one is provided.
