Create a photorealistic, intimate roadside portrait of a young adult woman quietly leaning the right side of her head against a massive, weathered concrete utility pole after rainfall. Convey solitude, wistfulness, and serene melancholy. Use the supplied face reference at ${face-reference-strength:150%}.

COMPOSITION AND SCENE: Vertical, extreme-close environmental portrait. The face occupies roughly 40% of the frame, with the upper torso filling the lower portion. Her head rests gently against the pole on camera-right; her face is nearly frontal and her calm, distant, slightly lonely eyes look directly into the lens. Keep her shoulders relaxed. The pole dominates roughly the right quarter of the frame. A narrow mountain road recedes along the left edge, with greenery, distant mist-covered mountains, utility poles, transformers, and repeating power lines creating leading lines. Place a vivid but naturally translucent rainbow diagonally through the storm-gray sky behind her head. Include realistic roadside imperfections, faint haze, and subtle dust and moisture in the air.

SUBJECT: Give her a soft oval face, natural youthful proportions, subtly rounded cheeks, and a delicate jawline. Retain warm-beige skin with visible pores, faint freckles or blemishes, slight tonal variation, and natural under-eye texture. Use soft romantic Korean-inspired makeup: thin, naturally feathered dark-brown brows; subtle peach-beige eyeshadow; fine dark upper eyeliner extending slightly outward; individually defined lashes with light mascara; subtle lower-lash definition; peach-rose blush across the cheeks and softly beneath the eyes; and softly diffused coral-orange or terracotta lips with natural texture and a satin-matte finish. Keep the nose naturally highlighted, without artificial contouring. Avoid plastic smoothing.

HAIR AND WARDROBE: Long, thick dark chocolate-brown hair with warm copper or auburn highlights from direct sunlight. Use a deep side or softly off-center part, with irregular layered strands sweeping across the forehead, eyebrow, cheek, and nose. Let the slightly tangled, windblown lengths fall over both shoulders, with visible individual strands, natural uneven density, subtle frizz, and fine flyaways catching the light. Dress her in a sleeveless, fitted high-neck knit top with narrow dusty blush-pink and pale gray/cream horizontal stripes. Show fine ribbing, realistic stretch, and small fabric folds. Add one large, thin metallic hoop earring visible on camera-left and a delicate long necklace with tiny translucent milky-white beads or stones.

LIGHT AND MOOD: Create an ethereal, lonely, nostalgic, serene post-storm summer mood. Use warm, low-angle golden-hour sunlight from camera-left at approximately 35–45 degrees, illuminating her hair, cheek, and shoulder. Let the concrete pole cast uneven shadow on camera-right. Balance warm highlights against cool storm clouds; add natural rim light on loose hair. Preserve somewhat harsh highlights, imperfect exposure, and realistic shadow falloff rather than studio lighting. Keep the rainbow translucent, not neon, and soften mountain vegetation with atmospheric perspective.

PHOTOGRAPHIC LOOK: Photorealistic Kodak film-stock aesthetic with Portra-inspired warm skin rendering, muted pastels, fine organic grain, natural imperfections, subtle highlight bloom, mild vignette, restrained sharpening, and visible skin texture. Aim for premium fine-art realism and high resolution. Use a slightly wide 24–35mm-equivalent perspective to retain the close face-to-camera relationship and substantial background. Camera character: Nikon D850 with ZEISS Distagon T* 35mm, f/1.8, approximately 1/500s, ISO 100–200; alternatively, emulate the iPhone 16 Pro Max 24mm main camera with restrained computational HDR. Keep both eyes and eyelashes crisp, with the road and mountains gradually softer. Allow mild edge distortion and chromatic aberration; avoid excessive artificial bokeh.

REALISM DETAILS: Show natural skin microtexture, pores, tiny facial hairs, individual hair fibers, uneven illumination, porous concrete with pits and mineral discoloration, a scratched metal pole band, faded roadside surfaces, subtle sensor or film noise, suspended dust and moisture, authentic rainbow translucency, atmospheric perspective, and mild optical imperfections.

AVOID: Plastic or porcelain skin, excessive makeup, glossy doll eyes, fake eyelashes, over-contouring, oversaturated or neon rainbow, fantasy sky, perfect symmetry, excessive HDR, artificial glow or halo, fake bokeh, waxy texture, airbrushing, duplicated jewelry, warped pole, distorted road, malformed anatomy, extra limbs, CGI, illustration, anime, watermark, text artifacts, and oversharpening.
