Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.

The complete prompt

A young man seated casually on a wide concrete waterfront promenade beside calm open water, full-body vertical portrait. He wears a clean oversized white long-sleeve kurta-style shirt with a minimal collar and loose dark charcoal/navy wide-leg trousers, with a small dark rectangular waist pouch resting across the upper thighs. His left hand is planted on the concrete behind him for support, right hand relaxed near his thigh, legs naturally spread with one leg extending toward the foreground. Head slightly tilted toward his left shoulder, shoulders relaxed, body leaning subtly sideways, neutral calm expression with a soft contemplative gaze toward the camera. Thick naturally tousled dark wavy hair with a slightly messy fringe. Wide open water fills the middle background, with a distant hazy modern city skyline stretching across the horizon. Bright pale sky with soft clouds and heavy atmospheric haze. Low eye-level camera angle with natural perspective, approximately 50mm lens, moderate depth of field keeping the subject clear while the distant skyline remains softly diffused. Soft overcast daylight from the front/upper left, extremely gentle shadows, lifted exposure, bright highlights, smooth highlight roll-off and minimal contrast. Very pale creamy-white and cool blue-gray palette, slightly desaturated pastel tones, subtle warm skin rendering, soft cyan-gray water, deep muted navy trousers. Delicate atmospheric bloom, slight lens softness, faint film grain, low micro-contrast, subtle haze and dreamy cinematic softness, mild highlight glow, no harsh blacks, no aggressive HDR. Preserve realistic skin texture, individual hair strands, natural fabric folds, concrete texture and physically accurate shadows. Professional candid lifestyle photography, authentic DSLR photograph, photorealistic, ultra-detailed, natural proportions, vertical 4:5 composition, subject positioned slightly left of center with generous negative space above, waterfront leading lines and skyline visible behind him.
