prompt

Create one vertical 3:4 image: a candid photograph of the woman in the attached photo standing beside her parked scooter at a red light on a city road at golden hour, helmet just taken off and hooked on the handlebar, taken by a friend from the pavement a few steps away.

The face from the attached photo is kept exact, the same eye spacing, nose, lips, jaw, cheeks and skin tone. She stands with one hand lifted to tuck loose hair behind her ear, the other hand resting on the scooter seat; her hair is slightly flattened on one side from the helmet. She wears a rust-orange shirt with the sleeves rolled, a white tee under it, and light blue jeans, with a small crossbody bag. Her head is turned to the camera, chin slightly down, eyes straight into the lens, a half-smile as if caught mid-complaint about her hair.

The sun is low behind the far buildings at the left, filling the street with warm gold haze; the pale road and a bright shop wall ahead of her bounce soft light into her face so it reads clearly, with a catchlight in each eye. Traffic behind her is a soft blur with no readable faces. No text anywhere, the number plate and shop signs plain.
