The golden hour prompt

Golden Hour editing instruction

Lighting & Color

Relight the uploaded image to simulate golden hour: warm, low-angle sunlight, soft long shadows, and a gentle amber glow across highlights. Preserve the subject, composition, and true identity of all elements. Produce a naturally warm, sun-kissed result consistent with the existing scene geometry. Do not alter the subject or composition, or create an unrealistic orange color cast over everything.
