Editorial: Narrative Editorial — Solitude Among the Crimson Heather: Erica Eternal.

Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal cinematic photograph, one continuous frame with one adult man. Capture digitally and color-grade to evoke Kodak Vision3 250D: fine organic grain, natural cinematic color separation, restrained midtone contrast, soft highlight rolloff and deep locally readable shadows. Cool peat-brown and stone-gray surroundings meet limited copper-red sunset highlights and dark crimson heather. Retain natural color differences in skin, clothing and shaded flowers. No physical-film claim, global orange wash, neon reds or global bloom.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult man's person reference as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve his reference-visible facial features, their actual shapes, sizes, positions and proportions, underlying skin tone, apparent age, natural asymmetry and distinctive identity cues. Let the reference directly define facial anatomy. Do not beautify, idealize, standardize, glamorize or replace him with a generic fashion-model face. Do not make him younger or older, erase age cues or add age-changing wrinkles. Preserve reference-visible body proportions; where the reference does not show the body, use plausible adult anatomy without invented measurements. Reference clothing, background, exposure and lighting do not define this scene.

Hair:
REFERENCE-HAIR PRESERVE MODE. Preserve the reference-visible hair length, color, texture, curl, parting, fringe, primary structure, volume and silhouette. Allow only physically plausible responses to wind, humidity, gravity and clothing contact; do not add length or invent a different hairstyle.

Grooming:
Cinematic no-makeup grooming: extremely sheer coverage, reference-defined skin color, natural brows, minimal clear low-sheen lip balm, no visible eyeliner or contour. Preserve natural under-eye color, subtle tonal variation, delicate skin texture and matte-to-satin differences appropriate to the camera distance.

Scene:
After rain, he sits among heather at dusk, looking at a small flowering sprig. He has stopped asking the landscape to return what he lost. Convey acceptance with grief still present: lowered shoulders, quiet attention and a gently held flower. Only the solitary man appears; no ghost, lover, blood or literal supernatural apparition.

Environment and Props:
Late summer to early autumn on a fictional Scottish moor. A low broad rock slab emerges from irregular crimson heather clumps. The slab subtly recalls a grave through its shape alone, with no gravestone, inscription or cross. Small stones, peat and foliage remain visible between plants. Foreground flowers frame the lower area without crossing his face or obscuring his hand.
Storm clouds remain overhead but split narrowly near the sunset horizon. The wind has weakened. Moist rock surfaces and damp garment edges retain traces of rain.
One slender heather sprig carries multiple tiny crimson flowers visibly attached along branching stems; never a single large rose-like blossom.

Wardrobe:
A heavyweight charcoal wool long coat is draped securely over both shoulders, arms outside its sleeves. Its shoulder fabric rests on his body and its lower portion settles against his back and the rock, supported rather than floating.
Underneath, a natural unbleached linen shirt with visible irregular weave, the upper two buttons undone, loose folds and subdued rain-darkened areas. Deep-brown corduroy trousers and worn mud-marked leather boots. No scarf. Small traces of soil and a few plant fragments cling only to damp lower hems; no decorative scattering of petals over his body.

Pose and Expression:
He sits on the low rock with hips supported and both feet planted on exposed ground below it. Knees bend naturally and torso inclines gently forward. His anatomical right elbow rests on his right thigh. The right thumb and index finger lightly hold the lower stem of the heather sprig; the remaining fingers curl loosely and stay distinct. The flower sits below his face, close enough to his torso to share a readable focus range.
His anatomical left palm rests on the rock beside his hip, supporting balance through a naturally aligned wrist. Fabric compresses under his seated weight and at elbow-to-thigh contact.
His gaze settles on the flowers. Eyelids lower gently, inner brows release, lips rest closed without a smile, and jaw tension softens. Retain natural tiredness without adding age cues or an exaggerated gaunt appearance.

Camera and Composition:
A medium environmental seated portrait showing the complete crown, torso, both hands, bent knees and the seat-to-rock contact, with planted boots visible in the lower environmental area. Center the figure horizontally, leaving approximately 15% clear headroom. Keep a useful lower foreground area relating the held sprig to the surrounding plants.
Full-frame camera, 65mm lens, approximately f/5.6, shooting distance around 3 meters, camera modestly above him and tilted down 15–20 degrees. This is a gentle elevated view, not overhead. Prioritize man, hands, rock and flowers over a broad sky. Eyes, mouth, stem grip and nearby flowers remain readable, with progressive softness deeper into the moor. Do not distort his forehead or shorten his body through extreme perspective.

Lighting:
A low sun breaks through the distant cloud gap behind him on camera-right. Its warm copper-red light reaches selected exposed hair edges, the rear-right shoulder, raised coat folds, upper flower tips and the corresponding wet rock edges. These highlights occur only on surfaces with a clear path to the sun; no uniform glowing outline.
His face, front of the linen shirt and forward hand remain comparatively dim under weak cool sky illumination from the open hemisphere. Preserve readable facial planes without separate frontal fill or face-only white-balance correction. Nearby flowers and rock share this warm-backlight/cool-ambient relationship. Small reflections in eyes and wet surfaces follow the actual visible sky and sun geometry.

Essential Direction:
Communicate acceptance through the released shoulders and light stem grip. Keep shoulders supporting the coat, hips supported by rock, boots contacting soil, and fingers visibly holding a continuous real stem. The flower's warmth and the face's cool shadow coexist within one coherent exposure. Maintain the same recognizable facial identity from the designated reference.

Watermark:
Add the exact text "${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}" at the bottom center as a fixed graphic overlay, medium signature size, approximately twice a small signature treatment, with a safe bottom margin. Use elegant white calligraphic italic lettering at moderate opacity, thin hairlines, thicker downstrokes and a pronounced rightward slant. Keep every character and the underscore readable. No outline, shadow, glow, box, border or plaque. No other text.

Negative:
alternate person, face redesign, beautification, age alteration, identity blending, perfect facial symmetry, plastic skin, waxy smoothing, artificial wet-look skin, enlarged pores, malformed hands, fused or extra fingers, hair fused into skin or clothes, unstable hair length, clipped highlights, artificial HDR, CGI rendering, aggressive sharpening, global bloom, neon flowers, selective-color monochrome, added people, split panels, collage, floating draped coat, unsupported seated body, flower stem penetrating fingers, giant rose, hands hidden in flowers, bright frontal face fill, glowing outline around every edge, literal grave inscription.
