## Prompt

```text
Subject: Faint profile in dappled sunlight

Main: A close-up portrait of a {subject} looking at the camera over her shoulder in warm dappled sunlight. The face is positioned prominently from the center to slightly right, with {hair_color}, {eye_color}, and thin white shoulder straps as the main features.

Person/Expression: A clean oval face, large horizontal amber eyes, soft parallel eyebrows, a thin straight nose, and glossy pale rose lips. The body is turned to the left of the screen while the face is turned toward the camera, making direct eye contact with a calm, transparent expression and a slightly open mouth. Light ash-brown hair down to the collarbone, thin translucent long bangs, tucked behind the left ear, with thin wavy strands falling over the shoulder. Small silver ring and single stud earrings in the left ear.

Clothing/Pose: A white delicate lace sleeveless top. Only the thin shoulder strap is visible on the left shoulder, with the chest area cut off at the bottom. A very thin pale gold chain with a small vertical pendant around the neck. The upper body is angled with the shoulder brought forward, both arms and hands naturally down and out of frame.

Background/Lighting: Vertical wooden pillars and warm-colored buildings in the left background, blue-gray window panes and dark green plants in the far right background, blurred until shapes dissolve. Warm afternoon direct sunlight comes from the upper left, creating bright highlights on the bangs, forehead, bridge of the nose, cheeks, and shoulders. Soft shadows filtered through leaves are left on the left side of the face, with golden backlighting added to the hair outline.

Composition/Camera: 3:4 aspect ratio. A shoulder-to-chest close-up shot with a medium telephoto camera at eye level. Top of the head near the upper edge, face positioned large in the center-right, capturing the left ear and shoulder to the right side of the hair. Hair on the right and chest are cut off by the edges. Sharp focus on both eyes, with background and hair ends significantly blurred due to a very shallow depth of field.

Texture/Style: A photorealistic live-action photograph taken in outdoor natural light. High-definition rendering of fine skin texture and subtle gloss, clear catchlights in the eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, transmitted light through individual strands of bangs, fresh lips, and small reflections on metal accessories. A clean, natural color tone combining warm skin and hair tones with subtle blue and green in the background.

Negative: Change to short black hair, symmetrical frontal composition.
