Silk-clad dancer pirouettes on mirrored salt lake at sunset

A woman in a cream silk gown spins on a thin layer of water, her reflection blending with the amber and violet sky as flamingos take flight in the background.

Prompt

Main Scene Description:
A vast salt lake at the very last moment of sunset, water razor-thin and perfectly mirrored, deep violet sliding into warm amber sky, one final band of incandescent amber-gold along the horizon, white salt crystals scattered along the shoreline. The atmosphere is hushed, prehistoric, world reduced to silhouette and reflection.
Reference Image Instructions:
USE THE WOMAN FROM REFERENCE IMAGE — strict identity lock, treat her face as the primary subject of identity preservation, her facial features must match reference exactly: soft Asian features, dark wavy hair, natural brows, calm expressive eyes, exact jawline and lip shape from reference. Face must remain clearly visible and recognizable in the frame, well-lit by the warm rim light, never reduced to pure silhouette. Do not alter her identity under any condition.
Pose:
Dynamic editorial pirouette caught mid-motion. The woman stands ankle-deep in the water, body twisted in a sharp diagonal, back arched backwards, head tilted up to the dying sky, one arm raised straight up, the other extended out to the side parallel to the water surface, weight on one leg with the other gracefully bent. The cream silk gown is caught mid-spin, the train flying outward in a wide editorial vortex around her, fabric whirling like a cyclone of light.
She wears a long flowing silk gown in pale cream that turns molten amber where the sunset hits it, deep V-back, the train caught mid-flight in dramatic horizontal motion. Bare feet in shallow water, no jewelry. Behind her, a flock of pink flamingos lifts off the water along the same diagonal as her arms, motion echoing her motion.
Camera & Technical:
Camera: ARRI Alexa Mini LF, 35mm prime at f/2.8, low angle just above water level.
Lighting: pure backlight from the setting sun creating a strong rim around her body and the silk, warm amber bounce off the water lifting her face.
Style: ultra-realistic photographic, fine 35mm grain, palette of deep indigo shadow, ember amber, soft pink, cream silk.
Negative Prompt:
cartoon, illustration, distorted face, plastic skin, replaced face on reference subject, low quality, watermark, fake CGI sky, oversaturated pink, cheap travel-blog aesthetic, flat front lighting, plastic-looking flamingos, static standing pose, full silhouette hiding the face.
