## About

A detailed prompt for generating an ethereal, cinematic portrait of a woman submerged up to her neck in dark, icy water (like a frozen lake). It emphasizes hyper-realistic wet skin texture, a tilted head pose with eyes closed, and moody, cool-toned lighting to create a melancholic fine art aesthetic
