He wears a sage washed linen shirt with rolled sleeves tucked into beige cotton chino trousers and a thin brown leather watch. She wears a flowing ivory crochet-knit midi dress with scalloped hem and delicate gold earrings. His hands rest gently at her waist while her arms wrap softly around his neck, foreheads nearly touching, calm tender gaze between them. Soft diffused morning light with mirror reflections on wet sand, realistic linen weave, crochet texture, skin pores and water sheen. Full-frame camera feel, 50mm, slight low angle. Vertical 3:4, three-quarter framing, sharp faces, no distortion, no text, no watermark, no logo.
