Eave rain falls into her palm; she catches the morning.
Within this small space, the light rests gently on her fingertips.

【GPT Image2 Prompt】

Theme:
Catching Rain Beneath Eaves in the Tang Dynasty

Subject:
A 1:1 square frame. A small courtyard in a Tang-dynasty neighborhood, on the morning after rain has stopped. Rain still drips from the eaves; shallow puddles lie on the ground; wooden doors and flowering branches carry droplets. The figure stands beneath the eaves and reaches out to catch a falling drop of rain. Only part of her face is visible, looking toward her palm. Only one adult woman appears in the image.

Person ・ Expression:
Translate the main figure in the reference image into a young woman in a Tang-dynasty market district, in her twenties, with black hair half pinned up, wearing a light-gray narrow-sleeved short ru jacket and a light-colored long skirt, with the cuffs slightly rolled up. Her expression is quiet and gentle, as if sensing the morning moisture in the air.

Clothing ・ Pose:
A light-gray narrow-sleeved short ru jacket and a light-colored long skirt. The figure stands beneath the eaves, extending one hand to catch the eave rain, while the other hand naturally hangs by her side. The action is paused midway; do not pose for the camera and do not display the body.

Lens ・ Composition:
Eye-level with a slight downward angle, with shallow depth of field close to the hand; from close-up to near shot, the palm, raindrop, eave edge, and the figure’s side face form the main visual. Place the subject low and to the right, retaining abundant negative space above and to the left; the raindrop reflection serves only as continuous soft light and must not create point-like highlights falling on the face.

Background ・ Lighting:
Wooden doors, flowering branches, water droplets, and shallow puddles. Morning daylight from outside the eaves forms soft light from a single direction. The illuminated areas of the face are continuous, with no point light source falling on the face and no random scattered light spots.

Texture ・ Style:
Rinko Kawauchi-style everyday lyricism in faint light. Soft high key, pale colors, slight overexposure, delicate film grain, low contrast, shallow depth of field, and lingering light. Commercial portrait-style centered large headshots and high-contrast advertising light are prohibited.

Negative:
Do not include male characters, do not include multiple main subjects, do not use studio photography, do not include modern elements, do not use perfect heavy retouching, do not have point light sources fall on the face, do not use multi-directional light that fragments facial features, do not use complex hand gestures, do not include extra fingers, do not include malformed hands, do not include text or watermarks.
