Use case: style-transfer / illustration-story.
Edit target: the supplied ORIGINAL photograph by Lerkrat Tangsri, a single vivid pink aquatic blossom on pale green water. It is a photograph, not a finished poster.
Create ONE finished opaque portrait artwork, EXACT aspect ratio 3:4, ideally exactly 1536 x 2048 pixels. TWO edge-to-edge equal-height horizontal panels, seam at EXACTLY 50% of total height (y=1024 for a 2048-high canvas). No margins, frames, titles, lettering or logos anywhere.
TOP HALF: retain the supplied photograph faithfully, including the same bloom with pointed magenta petals, dark central stamens, the rightward curving stem, the partial leaf and its reflection on pale green-gray water. Keep its recognizable structure, petal count impression, orientation and natural photographic texture. Fit the ENTIRE original landscape composition into the top half; it already has the correct 3:2 panel ratio. No new flowers, buildings or people. Very restrained refined color grading only, no illustration treatment.
BOTTOM HALF: translate that very same flower and its distinctive asymmetric open petal silhouette and curving stem into ONE traditional Chinese translucent leather SHADOW PUPPET performing BEHIND a softly backlit warm xuan-paper screen. Stylized flat side-facing leather construction, ruby/muted vermilion petals, olive-green stem, amber-translucent stamens, intricate sparse cloud-pattern and geometric cutouts. Two or three plausible articulated overlapping petal sections with tiny visible brass rivets, subtle leather edges. One or two very fine bamboo control rods rise from the BOTTOM edge and attach plausibly to flower base / stem. This is a puppet projected through a screen, not a craft object photographed on a table. Soft brown shadow feathering, gentle warm lamp glow, warm ivory/amber paper fibers, quiet softly darkened edges.
The puppet and stem occupy only about 25–35% of the lower panel AREA, slightly right of center, leaving generous peaceful negative space. Preserve the flower's expressive open pose and rightward curve, rather than adding a human face or human limbs. One bloom, one puppet, no stage panorama, audience, puppeteer or props.
Visual mood: a restrained Chinese cultural exhibition artwork, poetic and tactile. The photograph's cool pale green water is balanced by the warm illuminated paper below.
Hard constraints: exact 3:4 full canvas; exact 50/50 panel division; top remains authentic same-source photography; bottom is unmistakably carved articulated Chinese shadow-puppet grammar with visible rods and warm transmitted light. NO TEXT. NO extra borders or outer editorial layout (the Studio layout will add typography separately). NO 3D, cartoon, plastic, shiny illustration, second subject or montage.
