Japanese Yukata Summer Festival Snapshot

Generate one vertical 4:5 realistic photo.

[Character]
Use the attached image's person as the sole reference for character identity. Maintain facial features, perceived age from the image, skin, body type, full-body balance, and human likeness. Keep hair color from the image, but prioritize the hairstyle specified below. Do not inherit clothing, background, composition, or pose from the attached image; prioritize the following scene. Do not use reference sheets, comparison charts, multiple shots, but a single finished photo.

[Hairstyle]
Gather long hair in a loose updo at a low position just above the nape. The volume of the updo is slightly shifted from the lower back of the head to the person's left shoulder side, a messy low chignon or low ponytail-style updo. Do not tie it high above the ears. Do not leave most of the hair down the back. Do not make it a short bob, high bun on the top of the head, neat Japanese style, or a single straight braid.
Leave thin, curled longer face-framing layers on both sides of the face, softly outlining from the cheeks to the outer jaw. Also leave thin face-framing layers around the nape and ears, with fine flyaways glowing golden in the backlight.
Place one small white flower accessory behind the person's left ear at the base of the low updo, with a thin white ribbon hanging short from it. On the head, thin brown sunglasses. Small silver dangling earrings.
Final check: Ensure the hair is "gathered loosely at a low position above the nape," "has curled face-framing layers around the face," and "has a white flower and thin ribbon beside the low updo" – these three points must be visible.

[Scene]
A sunny summer afternoon, a narrow alley in an old Japanese shopping street. Low wooden storefronts, eaves, potted plants, stone or tile paving stretching into the distance. Not overly touristy, a street with a sense of daily life. The background behind the person is naturally blurred with a shallow depth of field, creating soft bokeh from the storefronts and greenery. The text on signs is blurred to unreadability, and no meaningful text or logos are drawn.

[Expression/Pose]
The person from the attached image looks straight at the camera with a bright, natural smile as if handing ramune to a close acquaintance. Laughing with mouth slightly open in a fun way, eyes also smiling. Skin has a realistic natural texture, without excessive skin smoothing or doll-like expression.
The person is slightly to the right of the center of the frame. Tilt the upper body slightly forward, giving a dynamic feeling as if stepping closer.

[Yukata]
A summer yukata with {argument name="yukata base color" default="white to off-white"} as the base color. Place large floral patterns sparsely, with flowers in {argument name="flower colors" default="light coral pink, salmon orange, light aqua, mint-leaning turquoise"}. Between the floral patterns, add multiple flat, cute black cat silhouette patterns.
The obi is tied correctly at the waist. The upper side has a black obi, the center has a wider ivory to light beige with a fine deep red accent color, a calm color scheme. The yukata's collar, sleeves, and obi structure should be natural and not distorted.

[Pose and Ramune]
Extend the person's right arm greatly towards the camera, holding out a transparent traditional glass ramune bottle. The arm and bottle appear large in the foreground with strong perspective. The bottle has a unique shape with a blue to turquoise cap, a slender neck, and feels like a marble stopper. Do not make it a common PET bottle or water bottle.
Place the bottle and hand in the left foreground, slightly softer focus than the person's face. Fingers naturally grip the bottle, not fusing hand and bottle.

[Handheld Basket]
The opposite left hand is at the side of the thigh, holding a small, Japanese summer-like handheld basket.
It's not a cloth-only tote bag. The outer frame is made of brown bamboo or rattan, a rigid oval to small cylindrical lattice basket frame. It has short brown handles. Inside the rattan lattice, there's a {argument name="inner bag" default="yellow and white gingham check pattern"} cloth drawstring bag, or the inner bag is clearly visible. Always maintain the two-layer structure of "brown rattan basket outer frame + yellow and white gingham cloth inner bag," and do not replace it with only a soft cloth bag.

[Composition/Camera]
Close-up vertical snapshot photo. Slight wide-angle equivalent to 24mm to 28mm. Slightly above eye level or nearly at eye level. Emphasize the perspective of the extended arm and ramune bottle.
Within the 4:5 frame, include from a small overhead margin to below the knees. The person's face is in the upper third area. The ramune bottle is in the left foreground, the basket in the lower right, both recognizable without being cut off. Maintain a natural snapshot feel, with a composition where the yukata, bottle, and basket are readable.

[Lighting]
Strong summer backlight from the deep upper right of the frame. Warm rim light on hair, cheeks, shoulders, and sleeves. The sky side of the background is bright and white, with subtle lens flare and bokeh. The face is not darkened but brightened with soft natural light. Overexposure is limited to around the light source in the background.

[Finish]
High quality but not overworked, with an intimate realistic feel as if taken with a smartphone or small camera. Clarify natural skin, fine hair, yukata weave, glass bottle, and bamboo or rattan textures. Colors are refreshing, with white, coral, light aqua, and yellow harmonizing in a summer-like way.

[Completion Conditions]
Maintain the person's likeness from the attached image. Do not include hair left down long, short bob, high updo, common PET bottle, bag with only cloth tote, no rattan basket, additional people, extra limbs or fingers, distorted hands, fusion of hand and bottle, distorted yukata or obi, readable text, logos, watermarks, collage, illustration style, or excessive CG feel.
