Scene prompt guide

How the scene is composed

Oslo's harbor promenade becomes a realistic spring travel photo with three hand drawn orange folk art fish floating above the rooftops. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst suits it because the prompt separates the real layer (brick, boats, sky) from the doodle layer, so the photo stays believable while the fish stay playful.

Realistic base sceneA clear travel photograph of Oslo's harbor promenade, brick warehouses and moored wooden boats beneath a pale blue sky
This sets the photographic foundation: a named city, three concrete elements and a calm sky. Without it, the model may invent a generic port, and the fish would have nothing real to contrast with.
Surreal doodle layerremixed with three simple hand drawn orange folk art fish swimming above the rooftops
The number three, the word simple and the placement above the rooftops keep the fish few, flat and clearly separate from the photo. Remove the number and you may get a swarm of fish.
Balance instructionKeep the waterfront realistic and the doodles boldly sparse.
This tells the model which layer wins. Realistic protects the harbor from turning into an illustration, and boldly sparse stops the sky from filling with decoration.
Camera and lightEye level 35mm photography, crisp spring sunlight
Eye level and 35mm give a natural, walking-by view with moderate width. Crisp spring sunlight gives clean shadows on brick; swap it for overcast and the scene turns flat.
Palette, texture, exclusionsblue, terracotta and cream palette, tactile pencil outlines and a playful sense of arrival, no logos, no readable signs.
The three colors tie sky, brick and paper-like tones together, while pencil outlines make the fish look drawn. The no logos, no readable signs clause prevents stray lettering on warehouses and boats.

Camera and light

This is a scene prompt, so the camera position and the light do most of the work in making the real and drawn layers feel like one picture.

Camera: Eye level places the viewer on the promenade. Change it to high angle for a map-like harbor view, but the fish then need to be described as seen from above or they will look wrongly tilted.
Lens: 35mm gives a natural field of view with little distortion. Try 24mm for a bigger sky and more room for the fish, or 50mm for a tighter, calmer crop.
Light: Crisp spring sunlight keeps the brick warm and the sky pale blue. Golden hour would push the terracotta and make the orange fish glow, but it would weaken the cream and blue balance.
Scale: The fish are described as simple and sparse, which keeps them roughly boat-sized or larger. Add the words each as large as a rooftop if you want them to dominate.

Variations on the scene

Autumn dusk

Use it when you want a warmer, calmer mood and stronger glow on the brick.

Prompt

Wide 16:9 landscape frame. A clear travel photograph of Oslo's harbor promenade, brick warehouses and moored wooden boats beneath a soft peach and blue evening sky, remixed with three simple hand drawn orange folk art fish swimming above the rooftops. Keep the waterfront realistic and the doodles boldly sparse. Eye level 35mm photography, low golden autumn light, terracotta, teal and cream palette, tactile pencil outlines, no logos, no readable signs.

Water level view

Choose this to make the boats the hero and get reflections in the water.

Prompt

Wide 16:9 landscape frame. A clear travel photograph from a low position at the water's edge of Oslo's harbor, moored wooden boats in the foreground and brick warehouses behind, beneath a pale blue sky, remixed with three simple hand drawn orange folk art fish swimming above the rooftops. Keep the harbor realistic and the doodles boldly sparse. 28mm photography, crisp spring sunlight, blue, terracotta and cream palette, tactile pencil outlines, no logos, no readable signs.

Birds instead of fish

Swap the central doodle when fish feel too tied to the water theme.

Prompt

Wide 16:9 landscape frame. A clear travel photograph of Oslo's harbor promenade, brick warehouses and moored wooden boats beneath a pale blue sky, remixed with three simple hand drawn yellow folk art birds flying above the rooftops. Keep the waterfront realistic and the doodles boldly sparse. Eye level 35mm photography, crisp spring sunlight, blue, terracotta and cream palette, tactile pencil outlines, no logos, no readable signs.

Model and settings

Keep 16:9, because the wide frame gives the rooftops, boats and sky enough room for three fish without crowding. High quality is worth keeping here, since the pencil outline texture and fine brick detail can turn soft at lower quality. For a phone wallpaper or social post, change the ratio to a vertical one and mention more sky above the rooftops so the fish still fit. This is text-to-image, so no input picture is needed.

FLUX.2 ProPick it if you want the harbor to look as photoreal as possible, since its tagline stresses photoreal images, while the fish stay as a light doodle layer.
Seedream 5.0 ProBetter when you want high detail and later plan to edit this scene with reference pictures, such as adding your own fish drawing.

When the scene falls apart

The fish look pasted in, like stickers on the photo: Add casting soft shadows on the rooftops and pencil outlines blending into the sky, and keep the phrase tactile pencil outlines so they share the photo's texture.
Too many fish crowd the sky: Keep three simple and boldly sparse, and add no other doodles. If it persists, write exactly three fish, no more.
Signs or lettering appear on warehouses and boats: Keep no logos, no readable signs and add blank brick walls and unmarked hulls to be explicit.
The harbor looks generic, not like Oslo: Add specifics such as red-brown brick warehouses and wooden boats along a stone quay, and keep the name Oslo near the start of the prompt.

Questions about this scene prompt

Why does this prompt say three fish instead of some fish?

Image models treat vague plurals as permission to fill space. A specific number gives a clear composition with room to breathe, and it matches boldly sparse. You can change it to two or five and the layout will adjust.

Can I use a different city instead of Oslo?

Yes. Replace Oslo and the harbor details with another waterfront, such as canal houses or white fishing huts, and update the palette so the fish still stand out. Keep the realism and sparse doodle lines unchanged.

How do I make the fish look more hand drawn?

Strengthen the texture words: say thick wobbly pencil outlines and flat orange fill with visible paper grain. Keep the word simple, since detailed fish drift toward polished illustration instead of folk art.
