Art style: Cinematic Realistic. A close-up shot focusing on Madam Efua's expressive face as she leans over a mountain of red tomatoes. She is looking toward Kofi with a stern but not unkind expression, her mouth open as if mid-shout. The camera angle is slightly low, making her appear imposing. The lighting is bright and direct, highlighting the sweat on her brow and the vibrant patterns of her headwrap. The mood is noisy and high-pressure. The color palette is dominated by saturated tomato red, orange, and deep teal. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Kofi Asare: A lean sixteen-year-old West African boy with smooth dark skin, high cheekbones, and a light dusting of freckles across his nose. He wears a faded red cotton t-shirt and a small hand-carved wooden cross on a simple string around his neck. His expression is one of quiet strength and observant intelligence. He is set against a blurred background of a vibrant, busy outdoor market. The lighting is harsh, direct sunlight that creates sharp highlights on his forehead and shoulders. His hair is short and neatly cropped. The style is clear and detailed. - Madam Efua: A middle-aged, heavyset West African woman with a commanding presence. She wears a vibrant, intricately patterned wax-print wrap and a matching high-wrapped headscarf in shades of orange and teal. Her face is expressive with deep-set eyes and a firm mouth. Gold hoop earrings glint in the sunlight. She is surrounded by crates of bright red tomatoes. The lighting is bright and warm, emphasizing the textures of her clothing and the glistening skin of her face. Her posture is upright and authoritative.
