The complete prompt

Edit this photo. Keep the subject's exact facial bone structure, eye 
shape and color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, and skin tone 100% 
identical to the original photo. Body build and proportions unchanged. 
This is non-negotiable.

LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light — 
soft late-afternoon sun streaming through an old station's glass 
roof, acting as a warm natural key from above and slightly camera-
left, filtered and diffused by dust in the air. Fill — soft bounced 
light from the light-colored platform floor, balancing the overhead 
key at roughly a 2:1 ratio so shadows stay gentle. Rim light — a 
shaft of sunlight grazes her hair and shoulder edge from behind, with 
visible soft light beams cutting through the air. Catchlights in her 
eyes should be warm and soft.

LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/2.0 — flattering facial 
compression, background rendered as soft creamy bokeh with vintage 
iron pillars and a blurred train softly visible, gentle fall-off in 
sharpness away from the focal point, faint natural vignette at the 
corners.

FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm nostalgic film response — sunlit highlights 
bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted gently with a warm 
sepia tint rather than crushed black, rich warm amber-brown midtones 
balancing naturally against her skin tone, slightly muted overall 
saturation for a timeless vintage feel.

DIRECTED POSE (as if a photographer is instructing her in real time): 
Standing on the platform beside an old iron pillar, one hand resting 
lightly against it, a small vintage suitcase by her feet, body angled 
at three-quarters to the camera, head turned back over one shoulder 
toward the lens as if she just paused mid-walk.

GENUINE DIRECTED EXPRESSION: A soft, wistful smile with gently 
relaxed eyes, chin very slightly lowered — the natural composed look 
right after a photographer says "just pause and glance back at me," 
not a stiff posed grin.

RETOUCH PIPELINE: Frequency-separation-style retouching — smooth 
tonal transitions on skin while fully preserving fine pore-level 
texture and natural color variation under the dusty filtered light. 
Subtle dodge-and-burn to retain natural facial planes, no flattened 
or washed-out glow.

FINISHING: Fine film grain overlay at low opacity, very slight 
chromatic softness at the frame edges as a real lens would render, no 
digital sharpening halos, natural imperfect crop as if not perfectly 
composed in-camera.

Ensure zero facial distortion, correct hand anatomy, and consistent 
shadow direction matching the overhead filtered station light.
