Real candid romantic couple at an outdoor playground swing set in a park under a partly cloudy sky. The metal swing frame and chains are clearly visible and geometrically correct, sandy ground beneath, grassy park background with early-season leafless trees.\n\nPANEL 1 (top): Wide candid moment: the male near the left swing, leaning forward close to the ground like he’s pushing/steadying himself; the female sits on the right swing with knees tucked, smiling/laughing. Documentary authenticity, not posed.\n\nPANEL 2 (middle): Both hang upside down from the swings, laughing. STRICT physics: hair falls downward with gravity, clothing drapes correctly. Faces remain fully visible and recognizable; no hair covering eyes/mouth.\n\nPANEL 3 (bottom): The female swings toward camera, reaching both hands forward toward the lens (playful ‘flying’ gesture). The male behind/left near the other swing, slightly softer focus but still clearly recognizable.\n\nWardrobe (match the reference vibe, realistic materials):\n- Female: dark jacket (leather or matte), blue jeans, casual sneakers; medium-length hair with natural movement.\n- Male: denim jacket, light pants/jeans, casual sneakers.\n\nPhotoreal notes:\n- Natural skin texture (pores, peach fuzz), realistic specular highlights.\n- No beauty filter, no smoothing, no doll-like look.\n- Correct anatomy, correct hands/fingers.\n- Maintain identical triptych layout, framing, and action beats as the composition reference."
