1	Create an ultra-realistic, cinematic, photorealistic surreal photograph of a handsome young South Asian man sitting casually on a gigantic fluffy white cloud hundreds of meters above a sprawling modern city, peacefully drinking a cup of coffee while commercial airplanes fly beneath and around him.
2
3	The man is in his mid-20s, with thick slightly messy wavy black hair, warm brown skin, expressive deep-brown eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. He wears an oversized black technical jacket over a clean white T-shirt, dark wide-leg cargo trousers, futuristic black sneakers, a silver chain, and a black smartwatch. His expression is calm and relaxed, as if sitting on a balcony above the world.
4
5	The enormous cloud looks physically realistic—soft, dense, voluminous and detailed, with individual vapor textures and subtle sunlight passing through its edges. The man sits naturally on its surface, one leg slightly hanging over the edge, holding a realistic ceramic coffee cup in one hand.
6
7	Far below, a vast modern city stretches toward the horizon with skyscrapers, roads, tiny vehicles, parks and realistic atmospheric haze. Several passenger airplanes fly through the sky at different distances and scales, creating an incredible sense of depth. One airplane passes relatively close beneath the cloud while others appear tiny near the horizon.
8
9	Golden-hour sunlight illuminates the scene from the side, creating warm highlights on the man's face, clothing and cloud while casting soft natural shadows. The sky transitions from bright blue near the horizon to deeper blue overhead, with subtle wispy clouds scattered across the atmosphere.
10
11	Use an epic wide-angle composition showing the enormous scale difference between the man, cloud, airplanes and city below. Strong foreground-to-background depth, realistic atmospheric perspective, natural reflections, physically accurate lighting, detailed skin texture, realistic fabric fibers, realistic hair strands, cinematic color grading, HDR, subtle film grain, shallow depth of field on the character with the distant city naturally softened.
12
13	Photographed like a high-end cinematic editorial campaign, 35mm lens, f/2.8, ultra-detailed, 8K UHD, photorealistic, natural proportions, realistic human anatomy, believable physics, dramatic scale, surreal but completely convincing.
14
15	No cartoon appearance, no illustration, no CGI look, no plastic skin, no distorted face, no extra fingers, no duplicate people, no deformed airplanes, no floating objects, no text, no watermark.
