Create a photorealistic cinematic magical-realism photograph in a vertical 3:4 composition. A young adult woman in her early 20s kneels naturally on a rain-soaked urban street at blue hour/night, looking upward with a peaceful, joyful expression. She wears simple, worn denim overalls over a light beige shirt, and her naturally messy dark hair is loosely tied back.

Behind her, enormous luminous golden wings extend widely across the frame, dramatically larger than her body. The wings appear supernatural yet physically integrated into the scene, with irregular overlapping feather structures, subtle translucency, imperfect edges, varied brightness, and realistic light falloff.

Keep the environment predominantly dark, with a deep cobalt-blue night sky, shadowy trees, distant buildings fading into darkness, and minimal or no artificial lighting. The wings are the primary light source. Their warm golden illumination realistically lights the woman’s face, hair, shoulders, clothing, nearby pavement, trees, and building surfaces, with believable soft shadows and warm reflected light.

Include a clearly recognizable reflection of the entire pair of wings on the wet asphalt. Distort the reflection naturally with puddles, ripples, cracks, and uneven road texture. Make the reflected wings softer, darker, and less defined than the actual wings while keeping them unmistakably wing-shaped.

Use very few subtle floating particles, restrained glow, and realistic atmospheric haze. Include no crayons, props, or decorative objects. Show natural skin pores, facial asymmetry, flyaway hairs, realistic fabric texture, and believable hands and anatomy. Use the look of full-frame camera photography, an approximately 50mm lens, shallow but natural depth of field, realistic exposure, subtle film grain, restrained HDR, physically plausible lighting, and cinematic color grading.

Mood: mysterious, peaceful, transcendent, intimate, grounded magical realism.

Avoid a CGI appearance, illustration, plastic skin, excessive bloom, excessive particles, perfectly symmetrical feathers, mirror-like reflections, oversaturated gold, artificial HDR, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, overly clean surfaces, a fantasy-game aesthetic, text, or watermark.
