Prompt 1:
"Create an ultra-realistic 8K portrait of a young man (face 100% identical to the reference), sitting at the edge of an old sandstone pavilion arch, facing sideways toward a serene riverside at sunrise. The soft golden-orange sky glows behind an iconic white marble monument with multiple domes and minarets, perfectly reflected in the calm river. Early morning mist hovers over the trees and riverbank, with small birds flying over the water.
The man is wearing dark winter clothes, a textured wool scarf, loose black cargo jeans, and black/white Nike Patti shoes. He sits calmly with his hands resting near his lap, looking toward the glowing horizon. Use warm, soft sunrise lighting to capture the peaceful mood. Focus on cinematic depth, ultra-detailed textures on the stone, natural colors, sharp shadows, and rich contrast. The final image should be in a 1:1 aspect ratio, with a serene and tranquil atmosphere."
Prompt 2:

He is leaning lightly against the carved sandstone pillar of a pavilion, looking across the river toward the glowing sunrise.
The iconic white monument is reflected in the still water, with misty trees in the background and a warm golden sky above. Birds are flying over the peaceful river.

The sunrise sky should be in orange and yellow hues, with the reflection on the water. Add morning mist and birds scattered over the river, creating a calm and spiritual atmosphere.
