[REFERENCES] @image1 is used for the man's identity: face, ears, nose, grey-green eyes, dark hair with greying temples, beige knee-length raincoat, white shirt, navy tie, charcoal suit, black leather shoes and the brown leather briefcase. Do not recast. Do not beautify. Do not use the grey studio background or the sheet layout of @image1. @image2 is used for the composition, camera position, street, wall, puddle, fallen leaves and the warm low sunlight. Do not use the boy from @image2. Do not use the parked car from @image2. [SUBJECT] Exactly one man, about 45 years old, the same man as in @image1, alone in the frame. He stands mid-step at the far edge of the puddle, walking toward the camera. His body is turned slightly toward frame-left, his next step angled toward the open left side of the puddle, about to walk around it. He carries the brown leather briefcase in his left hand, arm relaxed at his side. His eyes look down at the edge of the water, mouth closed, face calm and careful. His open raincoat moves slightly with the step. [WORLD] The same narrow European side street as in @image2, around the year 1990. A long warm orange plastered wall with ivy runs along the right side of the frame, with a bank of fallen yellow and orange leaves at its base. Old pale facades in the soft background. A wide shallow rain puddle fills the foreground and most of the pavement, its left edge open toward the street. One parked late-1980s European sedan in silver grey stands far in the background on the left. The puddle reflects the man upside down, the reflection matching his exact pose, raincoat, briefcase and step. [LIGHTING] Low warm late-afternoon sun from behind the man, upper left. Rim light on his hair, shoulders and coat edges. The wall glows warm amber. Soft bounce light on his face. Small glittering highlights on the wet pavement. [COLOR PALETTE] Warm amber, honey gold, burnt orange, beige, charcoal, soft olive green ivy, natural realistic skin tones. [CAMERA] Vertical 9:16 photograph. Low camera just above the pavement behind the near edge of the puddle, 50mm lens, shallow depth of field. The man is sharp, foreground leaves softly out of focus. Same framing as @image2. [STYLE] Photorealistic cinematic film still, natural skin texture with visible pores, subtle film grain, natural realistic colours. [NEGATIVE] No other people, no boy, no text, no logos, no readable licence plate, no modern objects, no mobile phones, no umbrella, no hat, no second briefcase.
