  "task": "Create one exceptionally realistic traditional South Indian maternity couple portrait that recreates the uploaded reference image with extremely high fidelity. Preserve the exact couple composition, standing pose, facial angles, gaze direction, smiling expressions, hand placement over the baby bump, wardrobe styling, jewellery styling, background simplicity, and studio lighting mood. The final image must look more realistic, more naturally photographic, and more premium than the reference while keeping the same overall visual arrangement. The output must resemble a professionally captured real maternity portrait photographed with a high-end full-frame DSLR camera, never an illustration, painting, artificial beauty-filter image, or CGI render.",
