## Prompt

```text
Use the reference image as the exact blueprint. DO NOT change the composition, camera angle, perspective, framing, pose, facial orientation, body proportions, clothing, hairstyle, accessories, lighting direction, or background layout. Preserve the reference image pixel-perfect. Every object must remain in the exact same position and scale. Do not crop, zoom, rotate, move, add, remove, or replace any elements.Only transform the rendering style into a vibrant {art_style}, visible brush strokes, colorful ink outlines, soft shading, and a whimsical travel journal aesthetic. Add playful doodles only in the empty sky and border areas: hand-drawn sun, clouds, hearts, sparkles, stars, and colorful decorative marks. Keep every subject and background exactly where they are in the original photo.The final image must look like the original photograph redrawn as an illustration, with identical composition and layout.
