Use only the one attached photo as reference. Study it, then recreate what it shows as a small snow globe and photograph that globe.

## Read from the photo
- **Main subject:** Identify the one person, one animal, or one building the photo is about. Match the number of subjects, coat pattern or hair, clothing colors, what the subject carries or wears, and the pose, including the direction of the head and body.
- **Ground:** Identify the ground, such as sand, grass, snow, cobblestone, water, or a wooden floor.
- **Nearby props:** Note two or three props close to the subject. Omit everything far away.

## Create one portrait image
Make a 2:3 portrait photograph of a physical snow globe standing on a real surface. It must not look like a drawing of a snow globe or a photo placed behind glass.

### The globe
Create a clear glass dome, roughly spherical, sitting on a solid base. The glass must have visible thickness: a bright specular streak on the upper left, a dimmer streak on the lower right, and a thin, darker rim where the dome meets the base. Let the scene inside bend slightly at the edges where the glass curves.

### Inside the dome
Make the subject a hand-painted miniature, 3 to 6 centimetres tall, made of matte resin. Brush marks are acceptable. Give the eyes two painted dots, each with one small highlight. Sculpt fur, fabric, and leaves as shapes; do not use photographic textures.

Turn the ground from the photo into a small sculpted mound filling the floor of the dome, made of the same material as the figure. Keep the two or three nearby props as miniatures at the same scale. Omit everything else.

Show 12 to 40 white snow flecks suspended unevenly in clear liquid, plus a settled drift of white powder on the dome floor.

### The base
Use turned wood, painted ceramic, or dark resin, with simple lathe-cut rings or a plain bevel. Do not put any writing on it.

### The photograph
Photograph the globe like a product photo taken at home. Place it on a wooden desk, a windowsill, or linen cloth. Use soft daylight from one side and a short cast shadow touching the base. Blur the background enough that no object in it is readable. Do not show the place from the original photo in the background.

The dome must occupy between 0.45 and 0.70 of the image height.

## Keep the subject recognizable
Preserve the same number of subjects as in the photo; the same species or breed, coat or hair, clothing colors, item held or worn, pose, and facing direction. Someone who knows the photo should recognize the subject at a glance.

## Failure conditions
- Any letter, number, logo, or brand mark anywhere in the image—including on the base, glass, floor, or background—is a failure.
- Photographic skin, fur, or fabric texture on the figure inside the dome is a failure.
- A flat picture inside the dome instead of a sculpted scene is a failure.
- More or fewer subjects than in the photo is a failure.
- A dome without a visible glass highlight or without any snow flecks is a failure.
- Any part of the figure extending outside the glass is a failure.
- A second globe or a row of globes is a failure. Show one globe only.
