Birthday on a terrace at golden hour, small cake with one candle

A photorealistic birthday portrait of one person at golden hour on an outdoor terrace, holding a small single-layer cake with one lit candle at chest height and smiling warmly, in warm-toned linen or knit with the low sun rimming the hair and the sky softly blurred. Keeps the face from your photo. 3:4.

The prompt

Preserve the subject's exact facial identity, skin tone and proportions from the reference photo — no reshaping, no beautifying. A photorealistic birthday portrait of one person standing on an outdoor terrace or rooftop at golden hour, holding a small single-layer cake with one lit candle at chest height, looking toward the camera with a relaxed, warm smile. Late-afternoon sun sits low and behind them, rimming the hair and shoulders in warm light while a soft reflector-style fill keeps the face readably lit; the city or open sky behind falls into a soft warm blur. Simple, well-cut warm-toned clothing — a linen shirt or light knit — nothing overly formal. Shot on an 85mm lens at f/2, eye level, three-quarter-length framing with generous negative space in the sky. Natural skin texture, visible pores, no retouching gloss, no HDR halos. Warm golden color grade, gentle lens flare from the low sun, fine natural grain. Photorealistic, relaxed and unposed, no watermark, no cartoon or CGI.
