Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for every family member. 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 and keep children looking their real age. Scene: a flat rooftop in Ahmedabad on Makar Sankranti, dozens of colourful kites in a clear winter sky, neighbouring rooftops with people in the distance, a plate of til-gud laddoos on a stool. Moment or Pose: one parent holding the kite string, a child holding the spool (charkhi) with both hands, others shading their eyes and cheering as the kite climbs. Clothing: light sweaters, caps and bright kurtas. Light: bright winter afternoon sun, crisp blue sky, warm light on faces. Camera: 24mm lens from a low angle so the kites fill the sky, f/8, everyone sharp. Style: vivid festive documentary photograph. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: changed faces, extra hands, tangled or floating kite strings across faces, children near rooftop edges, text, watermarks, plastic skin.
