Prompt
"A candid travel influencer photo of a woman in her mid-20s with sun-kissed wavy brown hair, wearing a light gray hoodie, bike shorts, and trail sneakers, holding her phone out for a slightly imperfect selfie while glancing near the camera with a relaxed half-smile. She’s standing on a windy cliffside overlook above a turquoise coastal bay with rugged rocks and a winding trail behind her, hair blowing across her face, one hand gripping a reusable water bottle. Natural golden-hour light with warm sun flare and soft shadows, true-to-life colors and subtle phone-camera grain like an Instagram Story frame."
