Create a highly realistic HD 9:16 vertical portrait using my uploaded face/reference photo as the EXACT identity reference. Do NOT beautify or alter my identity. The face should look like the reference image woman face. SUBJECT & POSE: The reference image woman in a graceful traditional Indian portrait. She is sitting/standing in a relaxed feminine pose with her head gently tilted toward one side, eyes softly closed, and a subtle peaceful smile. Her expression is serene, dreamy, elegant and slightly romantic. One hand is raised in front of her body holding a large natural peacock feather delicately between her fingers. Fingers should look anatomically correct, elegant and naturally positioned. COMPOSITION: Vertical 9:16 portrait, close-to-medium framing. The woman’s face is positioned in the upper-middle portion of the frame. Her long dark hair flows naturally down over her shoulders and toward the lower-right side. A large peacock feather extends diagonally upward across the foreground, partially overlapping the lower/right side of her face and body. Create the same visual balance and camera perspective. Keep the subject filling most of the frame. HAIR: Long, dark brown to almost-black, smooth straight hair with natural volume and a slightly side-parted hairstyle. A few delicate loose strands of hair naturally fall around the forehead and face. Hair should look soft, silky and realistic, not overly styled. Add a small traditional white flower/gajra arrangement at the back/top of the hair with tiny subtle red and green decorative accents. OUTFIT: Traditional Indian saree in a vivid hot-pink / fuchsia pink color with a delicate golden patterned border. The saree fabric should look lightweight, elegant and realistic, with natural folds and draping. A matching traditional blouse underneath with intricate gold detailing. Preserve the saree draping style and visible border placement. JEWELRY & ACCESSORIES: Traditional Indian bridal/festive jewelry with refined gold detailing: – delicate gold maang tikka/headpiece resting naturally along the hairline – multiple thin golden decorative chains across the forehead/hair – ornate central maang tikka with red/pink gemstone and small pearl-like details – delicate gold necklace around the neck – small traditional gold nose ring/nath on the left side of the nose – multiple colorful red, pink, gold and green bangles stacked on the wrist – delicate gold rings on the fingers All jewelry should look realistic, detailed, elegant and physically believable, with tiny gemstone and metallic reflections. MAKEUP: Soft feminine Indian festive makeup. Warm pink/peach eyeshadow, softly blended. Long natural eyelashes. Subtle black eyeliner/kajal. Naturally shaped eyebrows. Soft luminous skin with realistic pores and texture. Light warm blush on the cheeks. Natural subtle highlight on cheekbones, nose and forehead. Vibrant rosy-pink lipstick with a soft satin finish. Makeup must remain elegant and realistic, not overly heavy or artificial. Face painting/design: Create an intricate delicate Indian-inspired facial painting. Tiny white hand-painted dots arranged symmetrically around the eyebrows, outer eye area and down toward the center of the forehead. Fine white floral/star-like motifs between the eyebrows. Small deep-red decorative dots and tiny red floral/paisley-inspired accents integrated between the white dots. A small deep-red central ornamental motif above the eyebrows. The face art should look hand-painted, extremely delicate, precise, elegant and symmetrical, with tiny realistic paint details. PEACOCK FEATHER: A large, extremely realistic fresh peacock feather held close to the camera in the foreground. Detailed green, turquoise, blue and golden-brown eye pattern. Individual feather filaments clearly visible, naturally curved and slightly overlapping the woman’s body/face. The feather should create beautiful foreground depth and remain sharply detailed. LIGHTING: Soft bright indoor portrait lighting combined with a subtle direct-camera flash aesthetic. Bright, clean illumination on the face with gentle highlights on the jewelry and skin. Soft diffused ambient light from the front/side. Slight flash catchlight and crisp facial details without harsh shadows. Natural exposure, slightly luminous skin, subtle highlight rolloff and realistic skin texture. CAMERA & PHOTOGRAPHY: High-end smartphone/DSLR portrait photography aesthetic. 85mm portrait-lens look, shallow depth of field, natural perspective. Sharp focus primarily on the woman’s face and eyes/eyelashes, with the foreground peacock feather also highly detailed. Background softly blurred but still recognizable as a simple bright neutral indoor wall/corner. Natural optical depth of field, realistic bokeh, realistic lens rendering. No exaggerated cinematic effects. COLOR & AESTHETIC: Bright, dreamy, feminine Indian traditional aesthetic. Vibrant hot-pink saree contrasted with golden jewelry, dark black hair and vivid green/blue peacock feather. Warm skin tones, slightly soft high-key exposure, clean whites, subtle pastel warmth. Elegant, ethereal, romantic and graceful Instagram/Pinterest-style portrait. Keep the image photorealistic rather than painterly or AI-looking. BACKGROUND: Minimal clean indoor background with a soft off-white/light gray wall and subtle corner/wall transition. No distracting objects. Background should remain softly out of focus. IMAGE QUALITY: Ultra photorealistic, extremely detailed, high resolution, crisp facial features, realistic skin pores, realistic hair strands, realistic fabric texture, realistic jewelry reflections, detailed peacock feather, accurate anatomy, natural hands and fingers, professional portrait photography, HDR-like dynamic range without looking overprocessed.
