Prompt
A photorealistic narrow old alley tea-house scene in a dense East Asian neighborhood, shot at eye level with a slightly telephoto street-photography composition. The lane is cramped, damp, and richly layered with lived-in details: weathered storefronts, aged concrete and brick walls, tangled overhead wires, metal awnings, exposed pipes, hanging signs, and lush green vines and tree branches spilling in from above and along both sides. In the left foreground, place a rustic wooden table set for tea with exactly 1 metal kettle, 1 teapot, 1 tray of small blue-and-white porcelain teacups and small vessels, plus a few extra cups nearby; surround it with potted plants and stacked containers. Above and behind the table, hang exactly 3 illuminated vertical lantern-style signs with black Chinese calligraphy on warm cream paper, the largest reading 茶一味 and the others styled similarly, plus several darker wooden signboards with gold or light lettering. In the center of the alley, show white steam rising dramatically from a pot or food stall, partially obscuring stools and the passageway. On the right side, line up exactly 4 bicycles parked close together beside crates, baskets, and a black trash bin. Deeper in the alley, include exactly 4 visible people sitting or standing casually near tiny tables and stools, adding scale without dominating the image. The stone pavement should look wet and reflective, suggesting recent rain or humid weather. Lighting is soft natural daylight filtering from the bright opening at the far end of the alley, mixed with warm lantern glow, creating a moody cinematic contrast. Emphasize texture, authenticity, atmospheric depth, subtle haze, documentary realism, and a cozy hidden-gem tea-street feeling in {argument name="city style" default="an old Chinese lane"}.3b:T71Prompt breakdown

Clay Astronaut Moon Market
A whimsical handcrafted clay diorama of a night market on the moon (scene theme), photographed like a miniature cinematic set. The ground is dusty gray lunar soil with small craters and uneven texture, and the background is a deep black sky scattered with many tiny warm-white stars plus one visible cratered moon in the upper left. Show 5 small astronauts in chunky vintage-style white spacesuits with rounded helmets and dark glossy visors, posed as market vendors and customers. Build 4 rustic market stalls from rough wood poles and stone-like counters, each topped with draped fabric canopies in muted blue-gray or rusty red tones. Hang warm glowing orange paper lanterns from the stalls and string 6 round bulbs across the back of the market, creating a cozy contrast against the cold lunar setting. In the left foreground, place a large stall with 2 astronauts: 1 vendor behind the counter serving food from bowls and trays, and 1 customer with a backpack facing the stall. In the mid-background, place 2 smaller stalls with 1 astronaut standing between or near them as if browsing or buying. In the right foreground, place 1 red-canopy stall filled with breads, pastries, jars, and baskets. Near the center front, add a rough circular stone table with 4 low round stools; one astronaut sits beside it holding a cup or bowl, and the tabletop holds 4 small plates or food groupings. Scatter several foil-wrapped silver cargo crates around the scene, including 1 in the left foreground and a cluster on the right side. The overall style should feel tactile and handmade, like stop-motion puppets and sculpted clay miniatures, with detailed textures, warm practical lighting from lanterns, shallow depth of field, and a charming, surreal blend of space exploration and cozy street food market.

FAQ
- Why does the prompt specify exactly three illuminated signs and four bicycles?
- The precise counts prevent visual clutter while anchoring the composition: the three signs frame the tea table from above and the four bicycles create a balanced right-side line against the central steam and figures.
- How does the wet pavement interact with the lighting?
- The reflective stone surface bounces both the soft daylight from the alley's end and the warm lantern glow, amplifying the humid, post-rain mood without overpowering the foreground tea details.
