  "image_type": "Ultra-Realistic Cinematic Indian Festival Portrait",

  "task": "Generate one extraordinarily realistic, premium cinematic Diwali portrait of the woman from the user's uploaded facial photograph. Recreate the supplied visual reference with absolute precision in its composition, subject placement, apparent subject size, face angle, head orientation, independent eye direction, pupil positions, facial expression, body pose, jewellery, traditional clothing, lighting, foreground diyas, dark background, and warm golden atmosphere. Replace only the woman's facial identity while preserving the exact visual characteristics of the reference scene. The face must integrate naturally with the same coherent head, neck, shoulders, and body. The finished artwork must resemble a real professional photograph, not an AI-generated illustration.",

Her head is turned slightly toward the right side of the picture, with her eyes looking calmly upward and toward image-right. Her expression is quietly happy, composed, and naturally beautiful, with slightly parted lips forming a soft smile. Behind her is a deep brown, nearly black interior with soft golden circular bokeh lights.",
