Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for both siblings. Preserve each person's recognisable face, natural skin tone, age and relative height as closely as the model permits; check each person against the reference. Scene: a family living room in Lucknow on Bhai Dooj morning, the brother seated on a low cushion, a steel puja thali with roli, rice grains, a small diya, a coconut and a box of sweets in front of them. Moment or Pose: the sister applies a red tilak to her brother's forehead with her ring finger while he smiles and looks up at her; both faces clearly visible. Clothing: a pink printed salwar suit for the sister; a light blue kurta for the brother. Light: soft morning window light from the side plus the diya's warm glow, natural shadows. Camera: 50mm, f/2, slightly above eye level, the thali sharp in the foreground. Style: candid family festival photograph, warm and natural colour. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: changed faces, tilak covering the face, extra fingers, plastic skin, text, watermarks.
