Prompt

Create a new track for GPT Image 2: documentary style. - The person slightly raises their eyes, one hand blocks the sun, eyes squint slightly from the sunlight, the corners of the mouth just begin to lift. The action is not fully completed, which makes it feel more like a real moment captured casually by a phone. - A close-up composition from the top of the head to the upper chest preserves the round eyes, full face shape, catchlights, and natural skin details; the open grassland only provides a bright background without competing with the subject. - This "action paused halfway" first frame, followed by raising the hand, blinking, and a slight smile, feels much more natural than a direct bright smile. - A good candid life photo doesn't necessarily capture the most beautiful moment; sometimes capturing the moment just before an emotion occurs is more vibrant.
