Read the full prompt

"A highly detailed, cinematic 3:4 vertical portrait of a beautiful smiling young Indian woman. She is wearing a vibrant geometric patterned saree in shades of blue, green, and yellow. She is adorned with traditional oxidized silver jewelry, including a heavy necklace, jhumkas, and bangles. Her hair is beautifully styled with a soft side braid, with the rest left flowing. She is standing outdoors near beautiful flowers at golden hour, gently reaching her hand out towards two magical, colorful butterflies (one bright orange, one blue) fluttering near her fingers. There is a strong, warm backlight from the setting sun creating a glowing halo effect around her hair. Magical atmosphere, ultra-realistic, 8k resolution, photorealistic."

Choose a clear hand pose

Use an authorized portrait and keep the reaching hand slightly separated from the body. Two butterflies are enough to establish the idea. Place them near the fingertips without making them appear fused to the skin or hiding the hand completely.

Balance backlight and face detail

The sunset can create a warm edge around hair, but the face still needs softer light from the front. If the subject becomes a dark silhouette, reduce the backlight or ask for gentle fill. Keep flowers in the background quieter than the person and butterflies.

Inspect before animating

Count fingers and butterflies, then check jewellery and fabric patterns. If the still image is clean, add only a small butterfly movement while the portrait remains steady. A requested image ratio should be set in the tool's controls when available, not assumed from the text alone.
