Snowfall Valley — Three-Panel Winter Story

Use the uploaded adult man's original reference photo for his exact face, likeness and skin tone in all three panels. Preserve his natural appearance and keep him clearly the same person throughout. A separate scene reference controls framing, posture and clothing only; never copy the scene model's identity. Create a photorealistic vertical three-panel sequence, stacked top to bottom and separated by thin black horizontal bars, showing one continuous moment in a snow-covered mountain valley during steady snowfall. Top panel: a chest-up frame of the man with his head tilted back, looking up into the falling snow with a calm, slightly wondering expression and his mouth closed. Snowflakes rest on the shoulders of his coat. Middle panel: a wider frame of the same man crouched low at the edge of a narrow part-frozen stream, seen from the side, reaching down with both hands cupped just above the water surface. His weight is on the balls of his feet with heels lifted, knees together, in a stable believable crouch. Bottom panel: a full-body frame from further back, standing in open snow with both arms spread wide and level, palms open and tilted upward, head tilted back, smiling openly with visible delight. Dress him in all three panels in a navy insulated parka with a fur-trimmed hood lying back on his shoulders, a plain black top beneath it, black trousers and dark boots. Place dense snow-laden conifers along both sides of the valley, a steep mountain ridge fading into pale haze behind, and deep untouched snow underfoot showing soft wind-shaped contours. The stream in the middle panel runs dark and slow between rounded snow banks with a thin crust of ice at its edges. Render the falling snow with correct optical behaviour: flakes close to the lens render as large soft out-of-focus discs with no visible structure, flakes at middle distance as small sharp specks, and flakes far back merge into a faint haze that progressively lowers the contrast of the trees and ridge behind them. Light everything with flat overcast snow light so shadows are extremely soft and fill comes from the snow surface below, lifting the underside of his jaw. Keep the whites of the snow slightly blue in shadow and near-neutral where it is brightest, without clipping to pure white. Keep the palette cold and desaturated throughout, with the navy coat as the only saturated element in any panel. Create a full-colour vertical 9:16 photograph. Add a small subtle semi-transparent "promptybox.com" watermark at bottom right, with no other text overlays. Avoid duplicate faces, extra limbs, malformed fingers, plastic skin and unrelated props.
