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. Preserve the reference's apparent age, facial features, hairstyle, natural skin tone, proportions, garment cut, colors, materials, footwear, and worn accessories wherever visible. Do not copy its pose, handheld props, lighting, or color treatment. Without a reference or a supplied subject description, choose a scene-appropriate adult and outfit.

SCENE AND CAMERA
On a concrete flood embankment, place a 70mm camera at the subject's chest height about twelve meters away, exactly perpendicular to their line of sight. Frame their whole body in strict left-facing profile on the right third, with the waterline and embankment seams running horizontally behind them. Two meters in front of the subject sits a single detached bus seat, upright on a simple metal base and facing the same direction. They look at the empty seat without touching it. Keep the camera level and the scene planar, with clear lateral spacing between person and object; avoid a three-quarter view of the face or a diagonal view down the embankment. Thin cloud softens the afternoon sun, creating broad light on pale concrete, muted steel-blue water, and a few olive weeds in the joints. Moderate depth of field holds the subject and seat in focus while the opposite bank softens. Restrained posture, an ordinary object displaced into an open, quiet landscape.

Capture the primary interpretation of the scene exactly as described, preserving its specified camera geometry and narrative.

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.
