## Prompt

```text
Create a photorealistic vertical portrait of a {subject} outdoors on a sunlit tree-lined path, captured in a candid over-the-shoulder pose as she turns back toward the camera with a bright natural smile. She has {hair_style}, windblown strands glowing in strong golden backlight, soft freckles across her cheeks and nose, smooth natural skin texture, warm expressive eyes, and minimal makeup. She wears a pale pink camisole with thin straps and an oversized cream chunky-knit cardigan slipped off one shoulder, holding the cardigan lightly near her chest. Use a shallow depth of field with creamy green-and-gold bokeh from trees in the background, late-afternoon sunlight flaring from behind her head, rim lighting around her hair and shoulders, and a gentle lifestyle fashion photography mood. Frame as a close upper-body portrait in a {aspect_ratio} composition, subject slightly off-center, eye-level camera, natural color grading, high detail, realistic lens rendering, soft highlights, no text, no watermark, no extra people.
```
