## Prompt

```text
Use the uploaded image as the reference.
Keep: the same person, the side-profile angle, the calm thoughtful expression, the seated pose, the natural face structure and the soft introspective mood.

Change: move the scene from the indoor room to a quiet lakeside setting during golden hour.

Create: a realistic editorial portrait of the person sitting peacefully beside a calm lake at sunset, still in a soft side-profile pose, looking thoughtfully into the distance. Replace the hoodie with an oversized {sweater_color} {clothing_fabric} with visible soft fabric texture. Keep the hair naturally loose and slightly messy, with a few soft strands catching the evening light.

Lighting: warm golden-hour side light illuminating one side of the face, gentle shadows, soft highlights on the skin and sweater.

Background: blurred trees, warm reflections on calm water, shallow depth of field, peaceful autumn atmosphere.

Style: realistic editorial portrait photography, natural skin detail, warm cinematic color grading, calm emotional mood, elegant but not over-styled.

Aspect ratio: 4:5
