A striking ultra-real photograph that captures a woman leaning against a harbour railing, her face illuminated by the bright sky above. She wears a navy overshirt and displays a warm grin, embodying a relaxed and grounded demeanor.

FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact woman in the attached reference photo - not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows her recognises her instantly; do not beautify, broaden or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

PERSPECTIVE: an ultra-real photograph on a wide lens from slightly above her eye line, tilted down - her face upper-centre where the lens stays true, undistorted. She leans back against a harbour railing on both elbows, the sea glittering soft and unreadable far below and behind, in a navy overshirt, both hands hanging relaxed off the rail, fingers countable, her stance easy and grounded. Expression: nothing-to-prove grin up at the lens, eyes locked with clear catchlights, face brightest under the high bright sky from above-front. Vertical 3:4, knee-up. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: compare the face against the attached reference - the identity must match exactly; if any feature differs from the reference, it is wrong.
