How to use this prompt
Lotus pond shots need the flowers to be the focal point and the reflection to double them. Calm water is essential; ripples break the mirror effect. Mist adds atmosphere without hiding the pagoda. The 16:9 frame suits a wide peaceful landscape. Pastel colors must be soft; oversaturated pinks look artificial. Place the largest bloom off-center using the rule of thirds.
Variations to try
- Lotus pond in rain — droplets on leaves for freshness
- Single lotus bloom — close-up against dark water for minimalism
