The prompt

A photorealistic candid outdoor portrait of a young woman standing outside a cozy urban café on a rainy afternoon. She has long dark-brown hair styled in a loose low ponytail, with a few soft face-framing strands naturally falling across her face. She gazes gently toward the side with a calm, dreamy expression.

She wears a warm beige oversized knit sweater layered over a delicate white blouse, paired with a long dark-brown pleated skirt. A deep burgundy-red shoulder bag hangs naturally from her shoulder. She holds a transparent umbrella in one hand while the other hand gently adjusts a strand of hair near her face.

She stands beside a rain-covered café walkway, surrounded by wet pavement, small green plants, warm café windows, subtle city buildings, and softly glowing street lights in the background. Tiny raindrops are visible on the umbrella, while reflections of the warm lights shimmer beautifully across the wet ground.

Natural smartphone photography, candid lifestyle aesthetic, soft rainy-day atmosphere, realistic skin texture, detailed individual hair strands, authentic knit and fabric textures, natural reflections, shallow depth of field, cinematic ambient lighting, gentle vintage film grain, muted earthy color palette with warm café highlights, soft atmospheric contrast, peaceful romantic mood, highly photorealistic, vertical 4:5 composition.
