## Prompt

```text
Subject:
Afternoon at the beach

Main Subject:
A vertical 3:4 photograph. Under a small thatched beach cabana at a tropical seaside, {age_group} is sitting on a black woven hammock bench. The subject is positioned slightly to the right of the center, captured from the knees to above the head, with her upper body and legs occupying about 70% of the frame. The background features a bright blue sea, white waves, and a distant horizon.

Person/Expression:
Smooth skin with a bright ivory-beige tone. Natural highlights on the cheeks, tip of the nose, shoulders, and collarbone, with a delicate texture that retains skin grain rather than excessive smoothing. A natural and realistic Japanese-style portrait facial features. Pale rose pink blush, pinkish-brown eyeshadow, long fine eyelashes, natural undereye areas, soft brown eyebrows, and sheer pinkish-beige lips.
Her hair is in a loose dark brown updo. Thin bangs and wisps around her face are slightly ruffled by the sea breeze, with fine strands falling over her forehead and cheeks. Her head is slightly lowered, her gaze directed diagonally downward. Her mouth is quietly closed, with a calm and slightly pensive expression.

Clothing/Pose:
The upper body is an {top}. Soft ruffles at the chest and hem, thin ribbon ties in the center, and the shadows of light cotton texture and waving fabric. The bottom is {bottom} with natural fraying at the hem and white side ribbons hanging at the waist.
The body is facing forward but the center of gravity is slightly toward the right of the frame. Her right hand lightly touches her bangs on her forehead, with her fingertips naturally curved. Her left hand rests on the black woven bench on the right side of the frame, supporting her weight. Her legs extend straight down toward the center, with knees and thighs close together. Accurate depiction of the bench surface sinking, the wrist's contact, and the overlap of clothing ties and ruffles.

Background/Lighting:
The foreground includes the shadow of the thatched roof, thick wooden pillars, the black woven bench, and rope-like patterns on the sand. The middle ground has light beige cushions and white sand. The background has a pale turquoise blue sea, shimmering white waves, a distant boat silhouette to the right, and a soft, blurred horizon. The thatched roof fills the top width of the frame, with small hanging lamps visible on both sides.
The lighting is strong, natural afternoon light coming from the sea side on the left. Water reflections sparkle on the left, creating warm highlights on her shoulders, collarbone, cheeks, and arms. Deep shadows fall under the cabana roof and bench, and diagonal shadows of the wooden pillars and weaving stretch across the sand. Blue reflected light from the sea subtly enters the skin and white clothes.

Composition/Camera:
Vertical composition, approximately 85mm portrait lens, natural shot from a position slightly higher than eye level. The subject is slightly right of center, with space above her head under the thatched roof, and her feet reaching down to the sand. The wooden pillars on the left and right frame the scene, creating a three-layer structure of the roof, subject, and sea. Shallow depth of field blurs the background slightly, focusing on her face, upper body, and hands. The horizon is in the upper half of the screen, creating contrast between the brightness of the sea and the shadows inside the cabana.

Texture/Style:
Realistic professional camera style. Detailed rendering of natural skin texture, fabric weave, denim thickness, the hard fibers of the black woven bench, and the dry texture of the thatched roof. Color tones are warm beige, ivory, deep denim blue, and clear sea blue. Highlights are soft, and shadows are somewhat deep. An elegant and calm finish like a summer portrait in a magazine.

Negative:
Looking underage, excessive sexual emphasis, unnatural face, unnatural gaze, extra fingers, missing fingers, fused limbs, broken joints, broken clothing, collapsed ribbons or ruffles, poor contact with the seat, floating, unnatural gravity, incorrect perspective, shadows inconsistent with light source, gibberish text, logos, watermarks, excessive skin correction, plastic-like skin.
