"Banaras Ghat Evening Editorial Portrait"

Edit this photo. Keep the subject's exact facial bone structure, eye 
shape and color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, and skin tone 100% 
identical to the original photo. Body build and proportions unchanged. 
This is non-negotiable.

LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light — 
warm glow from rows of diyas and torches along the ghat steps during 
evening aarti, acting as a soft golden key from camera-left at chest 
height. Fill — soft ambient dusk-blue light from the sky and river 
reflection, gently balancing the warm key at roughly a 2:1 ratio. Rim 
light — distant torch flames and floating diyas on the river create a 
soft flickering golden rim along her hair and shawl edge. Catchlights 
in her eyes should be warm and soft, reflecting the flames.

LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/2.0 — flattering facial 
compression, background rendered as soft creamy bokeh with blurred 
temple spires, stone steps, and floating diya lights on the Ganga, 
gentle fall-off in sharpness away from the focal point, faint natural 
vignette at the corners.

FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm-cool spiritual film response — diya and 
torch highlights bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted 
with a faint dusk-blue tint rather than crushed black, rich warm 
amber-gold midtones balancing naturally against the cooler twilight 
sky and river.

Style: A rich-toned silk saree or salwar suit in maroon, mustard, or 
deep teal, delicate gold jewelry (jhumka earrings, layered necklace), 
a light shawl or dupatta draped over one shoulder, hair softly styled 
with a few loose strands, subtle bindi.

DIRECTED POSE (as if a photographer is instructing her in real time): 
Sitting on the stone steps of the ghat, one hand gently holding a 
small floating diya about to be released onto the river, the other 
hand resting on the step beside her, body angled at three-quarters to 
the camera, head turned toward the lens with a soft tilt.

GENUINE DIRECTED EXPRESSION: A soft, serene smile with gently relaxed 
eyes, chin very slightly lowered — the natural composed look right 
after a photographer says "hold the diya gently, now look over 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 flickering warm light. 
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 
shadow/light-source logic between the warm diya key and cool dusk 
fill.
