Prompt
Create an original image, no real people. Scene: the Kerala backwaters near Alleppey at dawn, a narrow palm-lined canal, still water holding the reflections of coconut palms, thin mist over the surface, a houseboat far away. Moment or Pose: an adult couple sit facing each other in a small wooden country boat, one holding a paddle across their lap, both looking at each other and smiling; seen from the side at a slight distance so faces are small and natural. Clothing: a cream kasavu saree with a gold border and a white mundu with a light shirt. Light: sun rising behind the palms, soft peach and gold light breaking through the mist, gentle rim light on the couple. Camera: 50mm, eye level from the bank, shallow depth of field, calm reflections. Style: soft cinematic photograph with a quiet, dreamy mood. Format: horizontal 3:2. Avoid: distorted hands, extra limbs, warped boat, text, watermarks, logos, crowds.
