Prompt
"A candid travel-influencer shot of a woman in her mid-20s with sun-kissed wavy brown hair, wearing a light windbreaker, black leggings, and trail sneakers, holding her phone out for a slightly wide-angle selfie while looking just next to the camera and smiling mid-sentence. She’s on a cliffside viewpoint above a turquoise alpine lake with rugged peaks in the background, a few hikers blurred behind her, golden hour light hitting her face naturally with a soft breeze moving her hair. Realistic smartphone photo vibe (Instagram story frame), natural colors, slight hand-held motion, no editorial posing."
