## Prompt

```text
A candid photograph of a young woman standing on a rooftop in a {location} at night, authentic daily life photography, natural candid moment. Full-body framing at a slight low angle — the illuminated city sprawl and warm residential tower windows blurring softly into the background behind her. East Asian young woman in her early 20s. Almond-shaped eyes with natural double eyelids, slightly elongated eye corners, lit from multiple mixed city sources. Straight refined nose with a delicate bridge. Skin tone fair to light beige — skin subsurface scattering visible under warm-cool mixed artificial light, specular micro-highlights on cheekbones and nose ridge catching the city glow, fine foundation powder grain perceptible. Soft matte lip, light summer evening makeup. She wears a {top}, {bottom}, and barely-there strappy heeled sandals. A miniature structured black bag hangs from her forearm. She stands at the low rooftop parapet, both hands resting on the edge, leaning slightly forward — gaze out over the nighttime city, posture easy and completely unguarded. Background: blurred glowing residential towers and neon shop signage below, the silhouette of industrial AC units as foreground texture, Pudong's distant tower lights painting a warm glow across the horizon. Two or three stray hairs displaced by the rooftop night breeze, natural unplanned imperfection, not geometrically symmetrical. Mixed artificial light sources — neon street signage from below casting warm amber and red color contrasts, a cooler blue-tinged LED source to one side, city horizon glow wrapping the scene in soft ambient warmth. Self-possessed and cool, gaze over the city, quiet urban freedom. Subtle ISO 400 film grain in shadow areas, photographic noise texture not CG render smoothness. Aspect ratio 2:3. No watermark, no text overlay, not cartoon, not digitally painted, not illustration, not anime.
