## Prompt

```text
Act as an expert prompt writer for AI image generators.

**My idea:** [ONE OR TWO SENTENCES]
**Tool I'll use:** [Midjourney / ChatGPT (DALL·E) / Gemini / Flux / Stable Diffusion / other]
**Where the image will be used:** [website hero / social post / slide / print / just for fun]
**Aspect ratio:** [16:9 / 1:1 / 4:5 / 9:16]

Task: Write one detailed image prompt that describes, in this order:
1. Subject and action, with specific visual details.
2. Setting and background.
3. Style or medium (photo, illustration, 3D render, watercolour…).
4. Lighting and colour palette.
5. Composition and camera angle.
6. Mood.

Then give: a short version for tools that prefer brief prompts, two variations with a different style, and a list of things to avoid (for example extra fingers, text, clutter).

Rules: no real people, named living artists, brands or copyrighted characters.
