Same person as the attached reference: keep her exact face - hairline, hair, brows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone - unchanged and unmistakable; ignore the reference photo's lighting, clothing and background.

A dark-teak carved window with a fresh mango-leaf thoranam strung across its top, morning light from the lane in front, behind the camera. She leans forearms-on-sill from inside, in a cream kasavu saree with a rust blouse, gold jhumkas, a small maroon bindi, hair loose. Her right hand rests on the sill, fingers countable; left hand tucked under her chin, knuckles clear of her mouth. The guests' bus has just turned into the lane: eyes to the lens bright with welcome, brows lifted, closed smile - real, never posed. Face brightest with clear catchlights, the carving sharp around her, the leaves above never crossing her face. True photograph, real teak grain. 85mm, chest-up, vertical 4:5. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

How to use this prompt

Provide a clear reference photo of the woman to ensure her features remain consistent. Specify the background elements, such as the dark-teak window and mango leaves, to recreate the desired environment. The prompt expects bright, natural lighting from a specific direction to enhance her expression and features.
