Underwatermermaidportrait (image)

Born from the sea, made of starlight.

Create a photorealistic cinematic underwater fantasy portrait in a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio. Depict a beautiful young adult woman as an elegant, completely original mermaid, swimming gracefully upward through crystal-clear tropical ocean water. She has warm, sun-kissed skin, expressive brown eyes, long naturally curly dark-brown hair flowing freely underwater, and a serene, joyful expression.

She wears an original ocean-inspired fantasy top constructed from shells, pearls, woven materials, and subtle metallic details, with delicate matching jewelry. From the waist down, she has a highly detailed iridescent teal, turquoise, and blue-green mermaid tail, covered in individually defined overlapping scales with subtle gold and aqua reflections. The large translucent caudal fin has multiple delicate flowing lobes and catches the sunlight beautifully.

Composition: Show the full-body mermaid slightly left of center, her body forming a graceful diagonal from upper-left toward lower-right, with her enormous tail sweeping toward the bottom-right corner. Her face occupies the upper-middle portion of the frame and is the primary focal point. One arm extends naturally outward while the other trails gracefully behind.

Above her, show the ocean surface with bright sunlight penetrating the water. Strong but natural volumetric sun rays descend through the turquoise water, producing realistic caustic patterns on her skin, costume, and tail. Tiny bubbles and suspended particles surround her, enhancing depth.

The background contains a tropical coral reef and rocky underwater formations, with a relatively sparse school of small colorful tropical fish kept softly out of focus so they do not compete with the character.

Visual style: high-end underwater fashion photography combined with restrained cinematic fantasy; physically convincing water; realistic skin texture; detailed individual hair strands; realistic underwater hair movement; natural fabric and jewelry behavior; detailed fish anatomy; realistic atmospheric perspective; subtle depth of field; high dynamic range; sophisticated cinematic color grading; restrained saturation; natural warm skin tones contrasted against cool turquoise water; subtle film grain; premium editorial photography.

Lighting: strong natural sunlight from above, controlled highlights, soft shadows, realistic underwater diffusion, delicate caustic reflections, and subtle rim light around the hair and tail. Avoid any artificial-looking glow.

Mood: elegant, mysterious, joyful, adventurous, magical yet believable.

Originality constraints: create a completely original adult mermaid character, including an original face, hairstyle, costume, jewelry, tail design, fish, environment, and composition. Do not depict a recognizable existing fictional character or copyrighted character likeness. Do not use franchise-specific costumes or designs, logos, or text; do not add a watermark or recreate an existing movie scene.

Negative prompt: cartoon, anime, illustration, obvious CGI, plastic skin, doll-like face, excessive saturation, metallic-looking tail, excessive glowing effects, cluttered fish, distorted anatomy, malformed hands, extra fingers, duplicated limbs, unrealistic hair, flat lighting, artificial studio lighting, child or teenager, nudity, transparent clothing, sexualized pose, text, logo, watermark.
