Prompt-specific quality checklist
- The woman must be clearly recognizable as the same person shown in the uploaded reference photo.

- Her face, gaze, head angle, expression, and neck position must respond naturally to the requested seated pose and camera placement.
- The face, head, hair, neck, and body must form one anatomically coherent person.
- The face must share the same lighting direction, color temperature, skin tone, sharpness, perspective, lens behavior, and image quality as the rest of the photograph.
- Maintain realistic skin texture, natural pores, subtle facial asymmetry, and believable midday highlights and shadows.
- Ensure realistic hands, fingers, feet, toes, limbs, joints, and seated-body proportions.
