# Water Emergence Portrait

Rise from the dark. Your photo becomes an extreme close-up of you surfacing from black water: braided wet hair, glistening droplets and moody natural light with real cinematic tension.

## When to use

- The user wants a dramatic hyperreal portrait of themselves emerging from dark water (wet-hair cinematic close-up, rising-from-the-lake portrait)
- A variation on a previous result: golden sunset water

Not for: Video output (use a video skill).

## Inputs and gates

| Input | Required | Default | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | Yes | — | One adult with the face clearly visible. Ask for another photo if the face is tiny, blurred, heavily covered or in profile |
| Mood | No | `moody overcast` | moody overcast (default), golden sunset water, or user-described |
| Ratio | No | `3:4 default` | 3:4 default; 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 on request |

- If the person may be under 18, stop and decline politely. Real-person photos must be of adults the user has the right to use.
- Fashion, dark and horror themes are fine as stills; refuse explicit sexual content and anything sexualizing minors.

## Steps

1. Read `references/image-edit.md` for prompt structure.
2. **Identity read**: `recognize_image(image_url=<photo>, prompt='Describe this adult for identity preservation: face shape, eye shape and color, brows, nose, lips, skin tone, apparent age range, hair color and length, distinctive marks, glasses. One compact line.')`.
3. **Generate**: `generate_image(prompt=<PROMPT>, input_urls=[photo], model='i2i.hd', orientation='portrait', aspect_ratio='3:4', name='Water Emergence Portrait', entity_type='skill_generation')`. Merge the user's details and options into the template.
4. **Self-check, one retry**: look at the result. If a person photo was used and the face no longer reads as the same person, regenerate with the identity clause first. If someone glancing at it would not instantly see the intended change (it reads as a light filter, the old clothes or background remain, or the style is faint), regenerate once with the change described bigger and more concretely.
5. Reply in one or two sentences, e.g. "All set. Your water emergence portrait is on the canvas. Next I can do golden sunset water." Results appear on the canvas; never paste URLs.

## Prompt templates

**PROMPT**

```text
The same adult from the reference: <identity line>. Same face structure, eyes, skin tone and recognizable likeness; no beautification or face reshaping. Intentional changes: an extreme close-up hyperreal portrait of the same adult emerging from still dark water up to the chin, intense calm gaze into the lens, wet braided hair clinging to the head, countless glistening droplets on skin and lashes, concentric ripples, soft overcast top light with a cool silver rim, deep teal-black water, cinematic tension, 100mm macro-portrait detail, opaque dark wetsuit collar just below the waterline. <user details and options>. Apply the style to the entire frame with its signature traits (medium, texture, palette, linework); the person stays recognizable under the style. Lighting and materials described concretely; composition suited to portrait 3:4. Photoreal unless the style says otherwise, fully clothed, no text unless requested.
```

Quality bar: Name the style's visual traits (medium, brushwork or render, palette, line quality) and apply them to the whole frame; keep the face's likeness readable under the style.

## Failure handling

- `success=false`: say what failed in one sentence; retry once only if transient; never invent links.
- The face changes: regenerate once with the identity clause first; then say so honestly.

## Examples

**Default**: the user says "this one" with a photo. Use mood `moody overcast`, ratio `3:4 default`, 3:4. Reply: "All set. Your water emergence portrait is on the canvas."
**Variation**: "next variation". Keep the same inputs and change one option (golden sunset water).
**Missing input**: no photo was sent. Ask: "Drop i
