**ULTRA-REALISTIC EMBROIDERED FASHION EDITORIAL — IMAGE EDITING**
Use two uploaded reference images:
**REFERENCE 1 — BASE PHOTOGRAPH**
Preserve the original character, facial features, anatomy, pose, clothing, wings, camera angle, lighting, composition and photographic realism.
Do not redesign the character or change the original scene.
**REFERENCE 2 — EMBROIDERY DESIGN**
Extract the embroidery artwork from Reference 2 and transfer it onto Reference 1 as a separate decorative layer, physically resembling real embroidery stitched directly over the surface of a printed photograph.
Preserve the exact ornamental design, silhouette, proportions, intricate details and recognizable structure of the embroidery reference.
Remove the original background of Reference 2 completely. Transfer only the embroidery itself.
**EMBROIDERY MATERIAL — CRITICAL**
Transform the transferred design into highly realistic, three-dimensional hand embroidery made from fine ivory-white cotton and silk threads.
Every embroidered line must consist of visible interwoven fibers, tiny individual stitches, subtle thread overlaps and delicate raised textile structures.
The embroidery must have:
- Realistic thread thickness and volume.
- Fine individual fibers and microscopic textile details.
- Delicate highlights along the threads.
- Tiny natural shadows underneath raised stitches.
- Intricate lace-like openwork.
- Slight organic irregularities typical of handmade embroidery.
- Realistic tactile depth, as though physically sewn onto the photograph.
The embroidery must NOT look like a digital overlay, flat white graphic, vector illustration, glowing outline or artificial pixel pattern.
Maintain the original embroidery technique and ornamental structure from Reference 2, enhancing only its physical thread realism.
**PLACEMENT AND COMPOSITION**
Position the embroidery prominently over the original photograph, creating an elegant surreal editorial composition.
Preserve the original embroidery proportions and design. Do not distort, stretch, crop or invent additional ornamental elements.
The embroidery may visually overlap the character, clothing, wings or background, but must remain a distinct layer above the photograph, never printed onto the character's clothing.
Keep the character recognizable and preserve the original photographic depth.
**COLOR GRADING — DEEP BURGUNDY**
Enhance the original photograph with a sophisticated, rich, saturated burgundy color palette.
Deep wine-red, dark oxblood, crimson burgundy and subtle warm brown undertones.
The burgundy background should become noticeably deeper, richer and more saturated without becoming bright red or oversaturated.
Preserve natural skin tones, realistic feather colors and the original lighting.
The embroidery must remain luminous warm ivory-white, creating strong visual contrast against the burgundy tones.
**VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHIC FINISH**
Maintain an authentic analog fine-art fashion photography aesthetic.
Subtle vintage film grain, delicate worn-paper texture, slightly distressed photographic surface, fine scratches and understated archival imperfections.
Preserve sharp facial details, realistic materials and dimensional lighting.
Avoid excessive haze, washed-out colors, heavy sepia or milky desaturation.
The final photograph should feel like a rare vintage fashion editorial print that has been meticulously embroidered by hand.
**FINAL ART DIRECTION**
Surreal couture photography, contemporary textile art, Renaissance-inspired dark romanticism, museum-quality mixed-media editorial, sophisticated negative space, tactile embroidery, dramatic yet natural lighting, deep burgundy atmosphere, exquisite craftsmanship.
The result must look like a real physical artwork combining an authentic photograph with genuine raised embroidery stitched over its surface.
**STRICT NEGATIVE INSTRUCTIONS**
No digital-looking embroidery, no flat graphics, no glowing threads, no random cross-stitch grids outside the embroidery design, no fabric background replacement, no altered facial features, no additional wings, no distorted anatomy, no extra fingers, no new decorative elements, no text, no watermark.
Preserve the original aspect ratio and composition of Reference 1.
