The Mermaid Awakens: A Hyper-Realistic Fantasy Portrait Beneath the Storm

Prompt

Create an ultra-photorealistic cinematic fantasy portrait of an elegant adult mermaid emerging within the heart of crashing ocean waves. The image should feel like a frame from a live-action fantasy film, with absolute photographic realism. No CGI, no illustration, no painting, no anime, and no AI-art appearance.The mermaid has luminous porcelain skin with realistic texture, tiny water droplets clinging naturally to her face, neck, and shoulders. Her long, richly saturated dark auburn hair flows weightlessly through the turbulent seawater, each strand individually defined and glistening with moisture as waves curl around her.Her expression is calm, thoughtful, and quietly powerful, her gaze directed off into the distance as though sensing something beyond the horizon. Her lips are softly parted and her features are elegant, natural, and timeless.Only her upper body is visible above the water. She wears a beautifully crafted emerald-teal scale bodice with individually detailed iridescent scales that catch the shifting light realistically. The scales appear handcrafted rather than costume-like.Massive foaming ocean waves surround her from every direction, frozen in breathtaking detail. White sea foam, splashing water, suspended droplets, mist, and bubbles fill the composition, creating movement and depth without obscuring her face.Lighting combines cool daylight filtering through storm clouds with subtle reflected light from the surrounding ocean, producing soft cinematic highlights on wet skin and hair. Colors emphasize deep turquoise, seafoam white, sapphire blue, emerald green, and rich crimson.Camera angle is a close cinematic portrait from slightly above water level using a shallow depth of field. The mermaid fills most of the frame while the crashing ocean becomes a beautifully blurred yet dynamic backdrop.Hyper-detailed water physics, realistic wet hair, natural skin pores, subtle freckles, cinematic color grading, volumetric mist, award-winning fantasy film photography, ultra-sharp focus on the face, 8K resolution, HDR, extraordinary realism, dramatic atmosphere, luxury editorial quality, masterpiece composition.Signature: small metallic silver handwritten brush-script watermark reading "promptalchemyai” in the bottom corner.
