A chestnut-haired woman with soft bangs and serene, thoughtful eyes of a gentle sea blue tone gazes introspectively. Her neatly braided hair cascades over her shoulder, catching the late afternoon sun, which ignites her locks with a fiery, radiant glow. She wears an elegantly unbuttoned cream blouse paired with a loosely knotted charcoal-gray tie and a delicate onyx choker. Her porcelain complexion is bathed in tender, natural light, accentuating a subtle rosy tint on her cheeks. The background is understated and beautifully blurred, drawing attention to her expressive visage and the exquisite dance of light and shadow. The ambiance is tranquil and intimate, with exceptional photorealism capturing every nuance, framed with a shallow depth of field under the warm embrace of golden-hour illumination.
