## Prompt

```text
Create a cinematic photorealistic wide shot of {subject} kneeling at the edge of a shallow oasis pool, leaning forward and cupping water in both hands to drink or wash their face. The subject wears layered, dusty, earth-toned nomadic robes, a wrapped turban, loose trousers, worn fabric scarves, and rough travel clothing, with wet hands and streams of water dripping back into the pool, creating small splashes and concentric ripples. The face is intentionally obscured by a plain dark brown square censor block centered over the head, while the body language remains intimate and exhausted. Set the scene in a lush desert oasis with {background_setting}; the low {time_of_day} shines from the right side through the palms, creating warm backlight, lens glow, long shadows, misty atmosphere, and shimmering reflections on the water. Use a dramatic documentary film still style, ultra-realistic textures, shallow depth of field, warm amber and sepia color grading, high dynamic range, detailed fabric fibers, visible droplets, natural dust and grime, 16:9 composition, subject placed on the left foreground with the oasis stretching into the bright background, shot as if on a cinema camera with anamorphic softness and realistic environmental lighting.
```
