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
Observe a grocery store's rear delivery yard through the open space BETWEEN two separate tall stacks of worn wooden pallets. Use a 24mm rectilinear lens close to the foreground wood. The left stack occupies approximately the left 40% of the image width; the right stack occupies approximately the right 40%. Together the stacks fill about 80% of the width, leaving a continuous central vertical opening approximately 20% of the TOTAL IMAGE WIDTH, around x=40% to x=60%. Keep the opening about this narrow at head, waist and foot height, with no broad widening toward the bottom. Rough slats, chipped corners, dark cavities and slightly soft near edges give the two side stacks strong foreground depth.

Several meters beyond the pallets, the man stands centered in the narrow opening beside a closed loading-bay door. His entire naturally proportioned figure and small empty produce crate fit inside the gap, with clear space around them. Make his standing height approximately 45–50% of total image height. Show his head, torso, waist, hips, both separate trouser legs, knees, lower legs and BOTH SHOES continuously, with visible pavement beneath his feet. He holds the small EMPTY produce crate beside his hip, within the opening, and looks down at one bright orange on the ground near his shoes. The crate must not obscure his lower legs. Exactly one person and one orange on the pavement.

The camera looks BETWEEN the two stacks, not through the slats of one pallet. Every horizontal pallet slat stops at its own stack's inner edge. Absolutely no board, rail, beam, shelf, pallet or horizontal crosspiece bridges the central opening or cuts across the man's body, legs or feet. Both legs and both shoes remain unobstructed. Preserve the full 16:9 canvas; no artificial masks or borders.

Loading-door ribs, worn concrete and a recessed service area establish background depth. Afternoon sunlight catches selected pallet edges, the side of the man's face, and the orange. Preserve a patient observational crime-drama mood, a physically real line of sight and rectilinear perspective; no fisheye curvature.

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.
