MAKE IT YOUR OWN

The prompt behind the perspective.

Adapt the subject, keep the camera. These reusable prompts are based on the examples; your results will vary.

Create one photorealistic 16:9 cinematic film still, edge to edge.

SUBJECT
Choose the main subject's appearance and clothing, or optionally attach an identity reference. When a reference is supplied, preserve that person's identity and original outfit without copying its background or layout. The scene and camera placement below take priority over showing facial detail.

SCENE AND CAMERA
The camera is immediately BELOW a thick but optically clear patch of frozen lake ice, pointing exactly straight up with an 18 mm equivalent rectilinear wide-angle underwater viewpoint. On the ice above, the subject in their chosen or reference outfit pauses during a quiet walk. One shoe sole is only 8 cm beyond the camera through the ice, off-center in the upper-left quadrant and occupying about a quarter of the image, with recognizable worn tread and distorted contact pressure against the clear surface; the other shoe and trouser legs recede toward their small bent upper body and face near center-right as the subject glances down. Keep one coherent human anatomy and a single pair of shoes, no duplicates. Blue ice fractures radiate across the foreground and partly obscure the subject; clear pockets permit a believable upward view of them against pale winter sky. Light is cold natural sky with a low golden winter sun catching amber ice edges; preserve readable deep lake-blue shadows. No open hole or missing ice around the subject, no submerged person, no camera reflection, no aerial viewpoint. Let cracks and opaque frosted portions physically hide parts of their face; the viewpoint stays underwater under the ice, showing a genuine sole-first worm's-eye composition.

COLOR GRADE
Apply a rich, naturalistic cinematic grade: deep steel-to-slate blues, luminous golden accents, grounded olive greens and warm stone neutrals where those colors occur. Preserve the scene's light sources and time of day, natural skin tones and recognizable garment colors. Keep firm contrast, deep readable blacks, detailed midtones, controlled bright highlights and crisp photographic texture. Use only subtle grain. Avoid washed blacks, artificial teal-orange separation, excessive HDR, plastic skin, heavy grain, broad bloom and diffusion haze.

IMAGE CONSTRAINTS
No writing, letters, numbers, signage, branding, logos, labels, watermarks or captions anywhere in the image. Keep relevant surfaces plain and unlettered. One separate photograph only; no border, montage, split screen or contact sheet.
