## Prompt

```text
Standing in a crowded subway | Morning rush hour realism

Vertical 3:4, a single realistic mobile phone snapshot of a commute, no collages, no grids, no poster feel, no text.

Only refer to the facial features, face shape, long straight black hair, and natural skin texture of the {character_features} in the uploaded image, keeping the appearance consistent. Only refer to the person's appearance, completely reconstructing the {subway_scene}.

Early morning rush hour, a young adult Asian female stands in a crowded city subway car, {clothing}, with a light-colored canvas bag on her shoulder. The carriage is full of passengers, and the distance between people is close, but the posture is natural, no squeezing or deformation.

She naturally raises one hand to grab the overhead ring, while the other hand is looking down at the phone, and her body tilts slightly as the train sways. She is looking at her phone seriously, her eyes focused with a bit of drowsiness from just waking up, her lips naturally closed, not looking at the camera, and not deliberately smiling.

Long black hair naturally hangs on her shoulders and chest, with a small amount of loose hair spreading gently due to the swaying of the carriage. The canvas bag is pressed to one side of her body, slightly squeezed by surrounding passengers, and the clothes have natural wrinkles. The person's standing posture is relaxed and real, no model pose, no chest-thumping pose.

There are a large number of normal commuting passengers around, some grabbing handrails, some looking down at their phones, some carrying backpacks. Passengers stand naturally along the carriage space, not surrounding the female lead, and not all looking at the camera.

The background is an ordinary city subway car, including doors, overhead rings, handrails, route maps, cool white ceiling lights, and blurry advertisements. No thick vertical iron pillars facing the camera should appear in the frame, and iron pillars should not block the person's face or body.

Ordinary mobile phone rear camera, about 26mm wide angle, shot from one or two meters diagonally in front, medium close-up composition. Retain real skin texture, slight fatigue under the eyes, loose hair, clothing wrinkles, and the clutter of the morning rush hour environment.

**Negative Prompt:** Empty carriage, too few passengers, person standing alone, model posing, commercial photography, smiling directly at the camera, all passengers looking at the camera, passengers watching the female lead, body clipping through each other, person deformed by squeezing, arm overlap errors, extra arms, extra fingers, incorrect ring-holding posture, suspended overhead rings, deformed phone, clear text on phone screen, thick iron pillars blocking the face, foreground iron pillars centered, passenger direction chaotic, over-smoothed skin, strong beauty filters, severe background blur, face swapping, facial feature drifting, text, watermarks.
