Prompt:
Raw, DSLR photo capturing two young hikers on the snow-covered summit of a mountain during winter. The camera focuses on their smiling faces as they hold a smartphone at arm's length, capturing a joyful selfie. Snowflakes gently fall, some caught in their hair and on their brightly colored jackets—one in vivid red, the other in electric blue. The background features a breathtaking view of rugged, snow-laden peaks fading into a misty horizon under a soft, overcast sky. Diffuse natural light highlights their flushed cheeks from the cold, emphasizing the warmth of the moment.

Prompt:
A platinum blonde woman with flowing hair, dressed in a fitted crimson red dress that shimmers subtly in the light, strides confidently through a modern cityscape at twilight. The dress hugs her form, complemented by knee-high black boots, their glossy finish reflecting the muted glow of streetlights. The background is a contrast of muted grayish blue tones, with skyscrapers fading into the evening haze. Her striking red dress and radiant platinum hair draw the eye, creating a vivid focal point against the urban backdrop. In the foreground, a professional cameraman kneels slightly for a better angle, his high-end DSLR camera pointed directly at her. The soft whir of the camera's autofocus blends with the city ambiance. He wears casual yet practical attire—a dark jacket and cargo pants—with a small lighting rig placed to his side, casting a warm, diffused glow that enhances her elegance.

Flow state mode results for this prompt. It gut cut off by max character limit (1006?) which I haven't noticed until after the fact.
Prompt:
A young woman sitting at a rustic wooden table in a cozy, softly lit café. Her head rests on her hand, elbow propped on the table, her expression distant and bored. Strands of her wavy chestnut hair frame her face, catching the golden glow of the late afternoon sun streaming through a large window beside her. The table is scattered with a cup of steaming coffee, a half-read book, and a notebook with scribbled notes. Behind her, the blurred bustle of the café contrasts sharply with her stillness, creating a sense of detachment. Cinematic framing focuses on her from a slight angle, emphasizing the slant of her gaze and the wistfulness in her eyes. The warm ambiance is accented by bokeh light effects, with muted tones of beige, cream, and soft green dominating the background, adding a dreamy, introspective mood.
