## Prompt

```text
Create a surreal photorealistic fine-art scene in a sunny city park: a young female painter, {artist_description}, stands waist-deep in a rectangular reflecting pond, calmly painting directly on the water with a thin brush in one hand and an oval paint palette in the other. The water surface is transformed into a gigantic floating portrait of {portrait_subject}; the portrait lies horizontally across the pond, its face emerging from ripples as if painted with liquid pigment. The portrait's hair is made from exactly 60 vivid koi fish swirling around the face in red, orange, white, gold, black-speckled, and electric blue patterns, their bodies blending into brushstrokes and reflections. The painter wears {artist_outfit}. Around the pond, include exactly 13 spectators plus the artist for 14 total visible people: on the left bank 4 spectators consisting of a woman in a black dress, a bearded man in sunglasses and a white T-shirt, a woman in a white summer dress, and one seated person on a bench; in the distant center background 4 small standing figures; on the right bank 5 spectators consisting of three women in pale dresses, one man in a black shirt, and one additional distant figure. Set the scene in {location} under bright midday sunlight with a blue sky and scattered white clouds. Use a low, wide-angle viewpoint from just above the water, with the enormous face dominating the foreground, the painter centered-left, and spectators framing the background. Style: ultra-detailed cinematic realism, magical surrealism, glossy water reflections, crisp koi scales, wet paint texture, natural skin detail, dramatic depth of field, vibrant colors, high dynamic range, 8k editorial photography look. Add a small subtle artist signature in the lower right reading {signature_text}. Avoid text labels, borders, UI elements, cartoons, and extra people beyond the specified count.
