  "prompt": "Create one 3:2 astronomical photograph. The composition is a LARGE, BROAD, TALL OVAL of EMPTY BLACK SPACE enclosed by an extremely fine material line. The broad oval outline has physical horizontal diameter 2334 pixels and vertical diameter 1168 pixels on a 3072 by 2048 canvas. Centre it at pixel (1536,1024). It is half as tall as wide, occupying 76 percent of image width and 57 percent of image height. The enclosed empty oval must therefore fill most of the middle three-fifths of the image height; do not compress it to a narrow horizontal slot. The word fine describes only the thin material of its edge, NOT the height of the oval.\n\nUse photorealistic observational cinema, natural exposure and tactile material detail. Use rectilinear optics, soft highlight roll-off and very fine restrained grain. Preserve the difference between cool daylight, dry late sunlight and blue-black night; warm rooms have practical amber light. Give distant scenery atmospheric depth and keep foreground objects physically solid. People are comfortably dressed and absorbed in ordinary life. Architecture is personal and spacious. Avoid glossy resort advertising, decorative science-fiction clutter, excessive lens flare, fisheye distortion, posed glamour, captions, lettering, logos and borders.\n\nThe space habitat is a completed open bracelet 3,000,000 kilometres in diameter. Its 6,000-kilometre-wide living surface faces inward, holding land, water and atmosphere. Sloped, mostly transparent retaining walls rise 1,000 kilometres at the two lateral edges. Its exterior structural base faces vacuum. A real star outside the bracelet supplies light. The central Hub floats independently, with no spokes, and is too small to resolve in these views. There is no central sun, planet, enclosing dome or solid disk filling the opening. The spin is roughly day-long and has negligible visible rotation over a few real-time seconds.\n\nThe observer is several ring diameters away and well outside the plane of the bracelet. The entire circular habitat projects as an ellipse with an almost horizontal major axis and a minor axis half that length. Centre it in the image with the major axis occupying 76 percent of the full image width, leaving empty black space around all of it. The living strip's 6,000-kilometre axial width is only 1:500 of the 3,000,000-kilometre diameter. The apparent ribbon is therefore exceptionally fine, at most a few pixels at a multi-thousand-pixel whole-ring view, with perspective-dependent thickness. Small wall height must not turn it into a deep cylinder or fat torus. Keep the centre black and empty at useful resolving scale. A natural star far outside the image illuminates the ring from a direction nearly parallel to its plane with a small out-of-plane offset. Restrained desaturated blue-white light catches parts of the inner face; dark parts have at most minute discontinuous habitation light. There are no individually recognisable continents, rivers, buildings or trees. Sparse stars remain behind the ring. Do not make the rim a uniform neon ellipse, enlarge the Hub, add spokes or place a star or planet inside it.\n\nThe camera looks from 30 degrees above the ring plane, not nearly edge-on. Keep the ellipse as broad vertically as specified. The physical living strip is a very narrow surface only 1:500 of the ring diameter, appearing just a few pixels thick. No torus, disk, planet, central star or spokes. Only an exceptionally slender desaturated blue-white material rim surrounds the large broad black opening. Light from an offscreen natural star grazes the structure, leaving large dark portions and limited faint reflected-light segments. Sparse stars are behind and inside the empty opening. No resolvable continents or buildings. No uniform glowing outline, diagram, guide, text or labels.",
