Theme:
{argument name="Theme" default="A Step towards the Cloud Castle"}
Subject:
Vertical 4:5. On a breakwater overlooking a blue sea, place a woman slightly left of center at the bottom of the screen, pulling a {argument name="Bag" default="Cream-colored carry case"} while extending one leg forward. The woman and suitcase combined account for about 35% of the screen height. Use the upper 65% for the sky and a giant cloud castle, maintaining a strong sense of openness.
Character・Expression:
A natural, realistic woman. Soft brown hair tied in a low ponytail, with bangs and stray hair blowing to the right in the sea breeze. Face slightly turned towards the screen, with a gentle, reserved smile. Gaze directed between the distant sky and sea.
Outfit・Pose:
{argument name="Outfit" default="Unbleached cotton half-sleeve sailor-collar dress"}. Thin navy piping on the collar and hem, waist neatly cinched, knee-length flared skirt lightly spreading in the wind. White crew socks and white low-cut sneakers. The woman's left hand pulls the telescoping handle of a cream-colored small carry case backward, with the case tilted diagonally and two wheels off the ground. Standing on the breakwater with her right leg, left leg extended forward horizontally. Right arm naturally flowing back, body weight centered directly above the right leg.
Background・Light:
A calm blue sea with a low horizon. A few small boat silhouettes in the distance. The sky features a giant cumulonimbus cloud, its upper part naturally connecting to the shape of an original aerial castle. The castle has an asymmetric composition with slender towers, round towers, cloud corridors, bridges, and semi-transparent spires. Fairy-tale-like but original design not reminiscent of any specific work. Not the building itself, but the outline of the castle emerges from the density and shadows of white clouds. Strong daytime sunlight shining from the upper left, brightly illuminating the woman's left shoulder, cheek, skirt, and case top. Shadows fall short to the lower right, with faint blue reflected light from the sea surface supplementing the woman's lower body.
Composition・Camera:
Full-body shot from a slightly low eye level. Light compression equivalent to 85mm. Woman placed in the lower 1/3 of the screen, cloud castle large in the upper center. Sufficient space between the woman's head and the castle, with a small margin from the castle's top to the upper edge of the screen. Breakwater depicted as a horizontal line crossing the bottom, with the sea-sky boundary slightly below the woman's waist. Focus clearly on the woman and suitcase, with only the distant boats slightly blurred.
Texture・Style:
Transparent summer photo expression. Clear cyan-blue sky, clouds close to pure white, unified with unbleached cotton outfit and case. Skin retains natural texture, avoiding excessive beauty retouching. Cloud castle has soft three-dimensionality and light transmission, maintaining a sense of realism as if accidentally appearing in the photo. Refreshing and bright high-key tone, delicate wind movement, light film grain.
Negative:
Unnatural face, unnatural gaze, extra fingers, missing fingers, fusion of limbs, joint breakdown, leg length mismatch, poor contact with suitcase, floating, unnatural gravity, incorrect perspective, shadows contradicting light source, symmetry of the castle, castle too similar to existing work, mojibake, logo, watermark, excessive beauty retouching, plastic-like skin.
