## Prompt

```text
Based on each uploaded photograph, create an independent 3:4 vertical 'Second World' conceptual surrealist photo illustration poster. Output each separately, no collages. Strictly 1:1 split vertically. The top half is the original realistic photo; the bottom half is another layer of space growing from within the photo. They are not stitched together but exist as continuous presences in different narrative layers of the same moment.
The top half should faithfully preserve the original photo as much as possible, without changing the subject, action, spatial relationships, lighting, color, or texture. Only perform necessary proportional cropping and slight high-end tonal adjustments to give it a clean, restrained, publication-quality photographic feel.
The creative focus is not on the 'subject matter' but on re-understanding the visual structure. First, observe the most decisive structural clues in this photo (e.g., boundaries, slopes, water surfaces, reflections, shadows, cracks, roads, branches, clouds, contours, gaps, flow, repetitive rhythms, spatial turns, or poses). Find the part best suited to 'cross the boundary'. Then let it break through the photo's edge into the bottom half, undergoing a translation of purpose, scale, semantics, or narrative role upon entry. It's not simple extension, but transforming something real into another existence that can be used, entered, measured, salvaged, repaired, organized, borrowed, unfolded, or collected in the second layer of space.
The bottom half is a warm, quiet, off-white space with subtle paper texture and ample whitespace. It is not an illustration background or decoration area, but a place to receive the 'new logic after crossing the boundary'. The relationship follows: Reality → Crossing → Translation. The charm comes from a smart and accurate cross-layer narrative, not cute decorations.
You may add minimal black hand-drawn line art figures (0-3), few but precise. Figures are users of the second world, interacting authentically with the translated structures. Lines should be light, simple, natural, slightly handmade, not cutesy, complex, or distracting. Actions should be specific, restrained, and smart, like seriously handling a small thing inherent to this world.
You may add a short English handwritten caption, generated based on the actual 'Second World event' happening in the image. Tone should be like a casual discovery or soft narration, with a hint of humor and lingering interest. Do not write inspirational quotes, explain allegories, or use templates.
The overall style should present a synthesis of Mixed-Media Photo Illustration, Surreal Photomontage, Frame-Breaking Illusion, Trompe-l'œil, Visual Metaphor, and Conceptual Editorial Illustration. Formally cross-media collage, mechanically frame-breaking, core visual metaphor, emotional tone gentle, slight, and smart micro-surrealism.
Do not make it a template of 'photo + small people + sentence'; do not have extension without translation; do not have form without metaphor; do not force sentimentality; avoid commercial ad feel, complex illustration feel, repetitive actions, baseless decoration, mechanical collage, hard connections, or cheap healing vibes.
Final Goal:
Let viewers first see a valid real photo, then suddenly discover an element crossing into another layer of space, gaining an unexpected yet extremely natural new meaning there.
Not adding creativity to the photo, but revealing the second reality latent within it.
