PROMPT.TXT

An early 2000s style flash photograph, close-up from a rear angle slightly to the side, of a beautiful, tall, slim woman (face 100% preserved from the reference photo, do not alter features). She stands on a brown sand beach at dusk. She wears a loose, wide soft blue abaya with horizontal gold beadwork on the wide cuffs, and intricate gold rose embroidery complete with leaves and gold beads on the back. A long, plain soft blue hijab is blowing in the wind behind her. Cat-eye sunglasses are on her head, and an ivory white Chanel bag with a gold chain strap is on her shoulder. A strong unidirectional breeze blows her abaya and hijab. The background shows palm trees, white chairs, and a sunset sky with natural scattered red clouds in a dark blue sky. The camera flash hits her face, making it glow with a soft reflection; her skin is slightly pink. She has thick neat brows, thin eyeliner, curled lashes, brown eyes, soft blush, and nude-brown ombre lips (glossy). Her nails are red. The overall image tone is cool blue-white. She has a calm expression, smiling sweetly, turning her head to look at the camera. The environment is dim.
