The same prompt and the same subject, rendered by different image models — so the differences are the model, not the prompt.
The prompt
Original
Muted celadon-and-sage palette warmed by pale cream and gold, soft dusty-rose accents, low chroma contrast · diffuse backlight glowing through hazy light shafts, scattering prismatic iridescent bokeh and translucent drifting mist, low overall contrast, luminous mid-values, feather-soft shadows · watery translucent washes fused with satin-sheen highlights and gentle blended gradients, loosely dabbed impressionistic textures, edges dissolving into atmospheric haze · layered atmospheric recession, organic asymmetric balance, luminous negative space, carrying celadon-glaze serenity and ink-wash emptiness. Dreamlike, tranquil reverie.

Effect only
The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
Muted blue-green and sage pigments sit against pale cream and gold, with dusty-rose accents and restrained chroma contrast. Diffuse backlight filters through hazy shafts, scattering prismatic, iridescent bokeh into translucent mist. Watery washes merge through gentle gradients, satin-sheen highlights, and loose dabbed texture. Feather-soft shadows, luminous mid-values, dissolving edges, layered recession, asymmetric balance, and open luminous space sustain a tranquil, weightless depth.

Using it
- Paste the prompt, then add your subject after it — for example …, a lighthouse on a cliff at dusk.
- The effect-only version drops the recipe altogether and describes only what the style does to a surface. Use it to mix this look into another style, or when you want nothing traceable to a source.
- Every sample here was rendered against the same short subject — Quiet streets whisper / Her footsteps echo softly / Sunlight paints her path — so it shows the style, not a lucky subject.
