# Waterborne Swan — Ultra-Photorealistic Contemporary Ballet Portrait
## Reference images
- **Reference Image 1 — face identity only, highest priority:** Use this image exclusively for the woman's facial identity. Preserve her recognizable facial structure, proportions, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, chin, natural asymmetry, fair skin tone, freckles, pores, and distinctive features. She must remain unmistakably the same woman. Do not replace, reshape, beautify, age, de-age, slim, enlarge, soften, sharpen, or reinterpret her face. Do not use the dancer's face from Reference Image 2. Reference Image 1 does not control hair, body, clothing, pose, tattoos, jewelry, lighting, stage, or water.
- **Reference Image 2 — dance pose only:** Use this image only for body position, movement, and overall silhouette. Do not copy the dancer's face, hair, body type, clothing, skin tone, or appearance.
## Dancer and pose
Create an ultra-photorealistic professional contemporary ballet photograph of a ${age:44}-year-old woman with a natural, feminine, curvy-medium build and realistic adult proportions. She has fair, untanned skin with natural pores, freckles, and realistic texture; natural proportions in her waist, hips, bust, arms, legs, hands, and feet. She should look like a real woman dancing, not an extremely thin professional ballet model.
Recreate Reference Image 2's elegant pose: one straight, fully extended supporting leg en pointe; the opposite leg extending backward from the hip, with its knee naturally bent downward/backward and its lower leg folded behind the supporting leg; the pointed raised foot trails near the supporting calf or ankle. Keep the pelvis and hips naturally aligned, the torso in a graceful, controlled backward arc, chest opening upward, and head following the spine. Both arms flow backward and slightly overhead. Keep the pose physically believable and anatomically correct: no twisted hips or distorted pelvis, impossible flexibility, upward-folded raised leg, or knee pointing toward the ceiling.
Use a three-quarter side-facing angle, not an extreme profile. Her head follows the natural curve of the backbend, with enough of her face visible to preserve identity from Reference Image 1.
## Hair, tattoos, and dress
Her long, semi-wavy auburn-red hair has caramel and blonde highlights and is styled half-up/half-down in an elegant contemporary ballet style. Gracefully pin the upper section away from her face with elegant black hair jewels; let the remaining hair flow naturally down her back. Show realistic individual strands and keep the hair clearly auburn-red.
Add realistic, detailed tattoos across portions of both arms and naturally extending across the upper chest, with fine detail, tasteful coloring, realistic scale, correct anatomical placement, and natural integration with the skin.
Dress her in an elegant, knee-length black chiffon contemporary ballet dress with thin straps. Keep it lightweight, flowing, tasteful, and responsive to movement; it must not obscure important leg or torso geometry. Black hair jewels are the only major accessory.
## Stage, water, and lighting
She is barefoot on a nearly black theatrical stage covered by a very shallow layer of clear water. Her supporting foot touches the water en pointe, creating a small realistic splash, tiny droplets, and natural ripples. Show a realistic mirror reflection beneath her that accurately corresponds to her body and pose, with no duplicated or distorted body parts.
Use a nearly black theatrical environment and one dramatic overhead/side spotlight to illuminate the dancer. Soft rim lighting outlines her auburn hair, shoulders, arms, dress, and legs. Light catches the water droplets and reflects across the wet stage. The mood is dark, atmospheric, elegant, mysterious, sophisticated, powerful, and fluid. Include no audience, scenery, or distracting objects.
## Composition and photographic realism
Create an ultra-photorealistic professional DSLR photograph, not digital artwork. Use a full-body environmental portrait with the entire dancer visible: head, hairstyle, arms, hands, torso, both legs, both feet, dress, supporting foot, raised foot, and reflection. Leave enough space around her to avoid cropping. Use a three-quarter side perspective that clearly shows the backbend and leg configuration, natural photographic perspective, realistic depth of field, a sharp subject, and a softly fading dark background.
Render realistic skin pores, freckles, hair strands, tattoos, chiffon, water, reflections, shadows, and lighting, with physically believable human anatomy. Hands should be natural and expressive, with five correctly formed fingers on each hand. Ensure accurate wrists, joints, feet, ankles, knees, hips, spine, and limbs.
**Avoid:** painting, illustration, anime, cartoon, CGI, 3D rendering, plastic or over-smoothed skin, beauty filters, a generic model face, face replacement, facial reshaping, altered facial structure, extreme body proportions, impossible flexibility, twisted pelvis or hips, upward-folded leg, knee pointing toward the ceiling, malformed hands or feet, fused or extra fingers, extra or missing limbs, duplicated body parts, painterly brushstrokes, and artificial vivid effects.
## Watermark and attribution
Add a very subtle, transparent cinematic watermark in a darker portion of the environment, at extremely low opacity: almost invisible at normal viewing size but readable when zoomed in. Reproduce exactly: “${watermark-text:AmySue_44 ♡}”. Do not misspell, replace, distort, blur, or modify the heart symbol.
Place this signature in the bottom-right corner, safely away from the dancer and reflection: “${signature-text:AmySue}”. Make it medium-sized, bold, clearly visible, and handwritten. Do not use black ink; use a subtle luminous/light tone that complements the dark stage.
Place this line directly beneath the signature: “${copyright-text:© 2026 AmySue (@amysue44_vu). All Rights Reserved. Created on 09~08~2026 at 12:45am.}” Keep both elements correctly spelled, fully visible, clean, legible, properly aligned, and unobstructed. Do not change their wording, punctuation, symbols, username, date, or time.
## Final priorities
1. Exact facial identity from Reference Image 1.
2. Natural human anatomy.
3. Dance pose from Reference Image 2.
4. Correct supporting- and raised-leg geometry.
5. Complete full-body composition.
6. Water, reflection, lighting, and environment.
7. Hair, tattoos, dress, and accessories.
8. Watermark, signature, and copyright.
**Critical:** Reference Image 1 controls the woman's face only. Reference Image 2 controls the dance pose only. Never mix the identities or appearances of the two references.
