What you will get

You at a small cafe table by a big window, warm morning light on your face, a cup and a notebook in front of you, a blurred street outside and a relaxed candid smile. Your face, hair and clothes stay as they are.

Common mistake

The cup floats, or your hand merges into it.

Fix: Describe the contact: “both hands resting on the table around the cup, notebook open with a blank page”. A blank page avoids garbled writing.

Also watch for

The street outside is generic and looks the same in every result. Name real details, such as “a tram passing and brick shopfronts” or “a lane with scooters and a tea stall”.
The window light is so strong that your face is overexposed. Say “soft morning light from the left window, face evenly lit and not blown out, background slightly darker”.

Try a variation: rainy day

Add “rain running down the window, a warm lamp inside, a grey street outside and steam rising from the cup”. The warm inside against the cool outside gives a cosier mood.

Keep my face, hair and clothes, put both hands round the cup, make the page in the notebook blank and soften the light so my face is not overexposed.
