The attached character reference  standing in profile on a rooftop, face tilted upward, gazing into the sky with a calm, contemplative expression. Sharp facial features caught in dim light — retaine precise jawline,  nose, slightly parted lips., hair,  wearing a dark, oversized wool coat with a wide collar, the fabric appearing almost silhouetted in the low light, subtle texture visible on the shoulders and lapel.

The scene: A flock of pigeons/crows in mid-flight scattered across the frame, some sharply visible near the top corners, others motion-blurred as they sweep past close to the camera, giving a sense of sudden, startled movement.

Setting: An old European rooftop cityscape stretching into the background — a dense sprawl of weathered rooftops, chimneys, and historic apartment buildings with ornate facades, softly blurred with atmospheric depth, suggesting a city like St. Petersburg or a similar Eastern European metropolis.

Lighting: Overcast, moody blue-grey dusk or early morning light, flat and diffused with no harsh shadows, cool desaturated color palette, the subject rendered mostly in near-silhouette against the pale sky.

Composition: Square or near-square framing, subject positioned right-of-center, shallow depth of field with the rooftop background softly blurred, birds adding scattered visual rhythm across the negative space.

Style: Moody cinematic street photography, film-like grain, cool desaturated color grading (blues and greys), atmospheric and introspective mood — melancholic, poetic, urban solitude.

Aspect ratio: 1:1

Refinement notes

Three useful ways to customize it

01

Subject and action

Replace the central subject first, then adjust its pose, action, expression, or relationship to the scene.

02

Composition and light

Change the viewpoint, crop, negative space, light direction, and contrast before layering on more style words.

03

Output shape

The saved reference uses 1:1. Change the aspect ratio to match the final placement before refining small details.
