Create a high-quality realistic photograph using the face from the reference without any changes or distortions. Preserve the recognizable facial features exactly. Vertical photograph.

A dark, cinematic witch-themed scene set outdoors at dusk. A woman is tied upright to a massive charred wooden post on the left side of the frame. Thick coarse ropes wrap several times around her waist and torso, securing her firmly against the post, with additional ropes tightly wrapped around her lower legs and ankles. Her upper body bends dramatically forward from the waist toward a human skeleton positioned beside her. Her shoulders are slightly hunched, her neck extended forward, and her face is shown clearly in a three-quarter profile. Her eyes are lowered toward a small candle flame. A cigarette rests naturally between her lips, its tip positioned close to the flame as she leans forward to light it.

She wears a large, worn black witch hat with a tall crooked pointed crown, irregular distressed edges, a wide brim, and a dark leather band with an aged metal buckle. Her hair has the same structure and length as in the reference, worn loose and slightly messy, with individual strands falling around her face and shoulders. She wears a distressed black medieval-style dress with a fitted low neckline, torn fabric, frayed edges, and an uneven long skirt. The dress is damaged around the thighs, revealing parts of her legs through irregular tears. Her face, skin, body contours, clothing texture, ropes, and individual strands of hair are clearly visible and realistically detailed. Natural skin texture without plasticity or excessive retouching.

On the right side of the frame sits a complete realistic human skeleton on the scorched ground, facing the woman. Its skull is tilted upward toward her, jaw slightly open. One skeletal arm is raised elegantly toward her face, holding a short burning black candle between its bony fingers, while the other arm rests lower beside its body. The candle flame is positioned directly beneath the cigarette, illuminating the woman’s lips, nose, cheek, chin, and nearby strands of hair with a subtle warm glow. The skeleton is anatomically detailed, aged and weathered, with visible cracks, discoloration, and realistic bone texture.

The environment resembles the aftermath of a medieval witch-burning scene. The ground is blackened and covered with ash, burnt wood, scattered embers, broken branches, and small isolated flames. Behind them, through dense gray smoke and mist, stands a distant old Gothic town with pointed rooftops, towers, and cathedral-like architecture. The sky is overcast and smoky, with muted gray tones mixed with a faint warm glow near the horizon.

Photograph the scene from approximately eye level with a slightly low cinematic perspective, showing the woman almost full-length together with the seated skeleton. The composition emphasizes the strange intimate interaction between them. Dark gothic fantasy atmosphere with macabre humor, dramatic but realistic lighting, warm candlelight contrasting against cold gray ambient light, volumetric smoke, detailed shadows, realistic depth of field, subtle film grain, highly detailed photographic textures. Photorealistic dark editorial photography, not an illustration, not a painting, no 3D, no CGI. Two-line author signature placed at the bottom of the image. Top line: “${top-signature:By Annet}” in a luxurious elegant calligraphic script, flowing handwritten lettering, high contrast strokes. Bottom line: smaller size, simple clean sans-serif printed font, clearly readable: “${bottom-signature:prompt: @annet_k.01}”
