Prompt (original, unmodified)
A lone woman stands on the roof of a brutalist concrete building at sunrise, wind pulling her coat backward as the city stretches endlessly below in soft golden haze, distant traffic glowing like veins of light. The camera begins in an extreme wide aerial shot, then slowly descends in a smooth spiraling orbit around her, tightening into a close profile as her eyes close and she breathes in. Dust particles float in the sunlight, lens flare streaks across the frame, subtle handheld vibration adds human fragility. Cinematic natural light, soft atmospheric diffusion, 35mm film texture, shallow depth of field, poetic realism. Avoid cartoon colors, avoid digital sharpness, avoid artificial CGI look.
