"Desert Dune Sunset Editorial Portrait"

Do not change the subject's facial bone structure, eye shape and 
color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, or skin tone in any way — keep 
it 100% identical to the original photo. Body build and proportions 
unchanged. Non-negotiable.

LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light — 
low golden desert sun behind her, acting as a strong warm backlight 
from directly behind at a very low angle. Fill — soft ambient light 
bouncing off the pale sand, gently lifting shadows on her face at 
roughly a 2:1 ratio so she doesn't go silhouette-dark. Rim light — the 
low sun creates a bright golden rim along her hair and the edges of 
her flowing outfit, with fine sand particles catching the light in 
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 rolling dunes fading into a 
warm hazy horizon, gentle fall-off in sharpness away from the focal 
point, faint natural vignette at the corners.

FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm desert film response — sunset highlights 
bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted gently with a warm 
sandy tint rather than crushed black, rich amber-orange-rose midtones 
throughout, skin tone staying natural and true against the glowing 
sand.

DIRECTED POSE (as if a photographer is instructing her in real time): 
Standing at the crest of a dune, one foot slightly forward as if 
having just climbed up, a flowing scarf or dupatta caught mid-motion 
by the desert breeze, one hand lightly holding the fabric near her 
shoulder, body angled at three-quarters to the camera, head turned 
back toward the lens.

GENUINE DIRECTED EXPRESSION: A soft, radiant smile with gently 
crinkled eyes, chin very slightly lifted toward the warm light — the 
natural look right after a photographer says "let the scarf catch the 
wind, now look 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 strong backlight. 
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 
backlit shadow direction across her and the sand dunes.
