Prompt text

Original English text. Replace placeholders with your own details.

Create a street scene where a large rain puddle on a cobblestone street shows a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT world in its reflection. The real world and reflected world are different realities.

REAL WORLD (top half):
- A quiet modern European cobblestone street on a grey overcast day
- A person in a {argument name="real world coat color" default="grey"} coat walking with an umbrella
- Modern buildings, parked cars, a bicycle
- Bare winter trees
- Muted, desaturated, cold — typical rainy Tuesday afternoon

PUDDLE REFLECTION (bottom half — inverted):
- Instead of reflecting the real world above, the puddle shows a DIFFERENT version:
- The same street but in a parallel fantasy universe: the buildings are covered in lush tropical vegetation, the trees are in full cherry blossom bloom
- The grey-coated person's reflection shows them in flowing colorful robes
- The parked car's reflection is a horse-drawn carriage
- The sky in the reflection is a stunning sunset with aurora borealis
- Flying whales visible in the reflected sky
- The cobblestones in the reflection are made of gold

TECHNICAL:
- The puddle is large enough to fill the bottom 45% of the frame
- The real world fills the top 55%
- The reflection is perfectly inverted (as puddle reflections are) but shows this alternate reality
- Some ripples in the puddle distort the fantasy world slightly — proving it's a water surface
- The edges where puddle meets cobblestone show the transition between worlds
- Rain drops hitting the puddle surface create small circular ripples that briefly distort the fantasy world

STYLE: The real world is photorealistic, muted, cold. The reflected world is vivid, warm, magical — the contrast between the two realities is the entire point. Shot at low angle (camera nearly on the ground) to maximize the puddle reflection. Slightly wide angle (24mm equivalent). 8K detail in both worlds.
