Keep the vertical 4:5 aspect ratio because it accommodates both the platform floor and the floating canopy of cranes overhead. Set quality to high to preserve paper crease geometry and prevent commuter faces in the crowd from smearing. If you switch to a horizontal ratio like 16:9, the cranes spread out wide, reducing the feeling of an overhead flock.
Specify paper attributes explicitly using phrases like 'crisp folded matte cardstock with visible creases'. This guides GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst to render realistic folds and surface texture instead of smooth plastic.
Contrast your subject clearly against the surroundings using distinct wardrobe color and an isolated action. The phrase 'a little girl in a yellow raincoat reaching up' gives the model an unmistakable color and gesture to spotlight.
Yes, replace 'paper cranes' with 'origami swallows' or 'folded paper butterflies'. Keep the three-color descriptor intact so the replacement objects maintain a balanced, unified look with the ambient morning light.
