High-Angle Selfie of a Young Woman on a Seaside Balcony

Prompt

A high-angle overhead smartphone selfie with a young Asian woman as the main subject, laughing joyfully toward the camera with direct eye contact. She has long wavy chestnut hair tied in a loose low ponytail, with a few strands blowing in the breeze and airy bangs on her forehead. She wears a white crochet halter top with open-knit patterns, a pair of fashionable sunglasses perched on top of her head, and small gold hoop earrings. Her makeup is natural with a peach lip tint and subtle blush. The shooting location is outdoors, with a seaside terrace or café patio in the background. White stone balustrades are visible in the background, beyond which lies a sparkling deep blue sea with white wave crests, and a distant coastline and mountains are faintly visible. The light is warm and soft, presenting a golden tone of sunset, with sunlight falling on the subject's hair and shoulders creating a backlighting effect with a luminous halo around the hair edges. The left side of the frame shows a corner of a wooden table with a white cup, seemingly with steam rising from it. The overall composition is centered on the subject with background bokeh highlighting the main figure, moderate color saturation, sharp and clear image quality, in a typical social media lifestyle photo style.
