Art style: Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere. SETTING: A sweeping elevated view over a Southeast Asian floating market at golden morning, captured on a vertical 9:16 canvas. Below spreads a wide waterway crowded with dozens of small wooden boats, each brimming with color — crates of ruby-red lychee, mounds of white jasmine, pyramids of mangoes and dragonfruit, bunches of green herbs. Weathered stilt houses line the far banks, their wooden walls silvered with age, laundry strung between balconies, potted plants leaning over railings. Narrow channels of shining water snake between the boats like ribbons of liquid light. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: High elevated wide angle looking down and outward, the frame taller than wide, the market receding into misty depth at the top of the frame, the near boats larger at the bottom. A slow rising vantage. In the lower-center foreground sits one small moss-covered wooden boat — the Old Boatman resting within it, a tiny warm figure, and near him the River Vendor Woman in an adjacent boat lifting a basket, both small within the vastness. LIGHTING: Warm honeyed golden morning sunlight streaming low from the right, gilding every wet surface, casting long soft shadows across the water, the last thin threads of milky blue mist evaporating in the distant channels. Light soft and diffuse, never harsh. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: Awe, scale, gentle wonder, a swelling sense of a whole living world revealed. Serene and expansive. CHARACTER ACTION & EXPRESSION: The Old Boatman sits still with a soft contented posture, hands resting in his lap, face upturned faintly toward the light. The River Vendor Woman lifts a woven basket toward a neighboring boat, mid-gesture, warm and unhurried. COLORS: Dominant honeyed amber and coral, jasmine white accents, ruby lychee red, teal and misty indigo in the receding shadows and distant mist. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: Wet weathered wood, glossy fruit skins beaded with dew, woven bamboo baskets, worn plank walls, rippling water surfaces. DEPTH & LAYERS: Foreground — the boatman's small boat and glossy fruit crates; midground — the dense flotilla of laden market boats and the vendor exchange; background — stilt houses, drying laundry, dissolving mist under a bright sky. WEATHER & PARTICLES: Fine golden haze, drifting evaporating mist wisps, faint steam rising from a distant kitchen boat, tiny motes catching the sun. MICRO-DETAILS: Ripples fanning from a moving boat, dew glints on lychee, reflections of houses smearing on moving water, a single bird crossing the upper sky. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere" style.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - The Old Boatman: A gentle elderly man in his late 70s with a slight, wiry frame and a lifetime of river work in his posture. Deeply sun-creased brown skin, kind squinting eyes framed by soft wrinkles, high cheekbones, and a sparse white beard. He wears a broad conical straw hat casting soft shadow over his serene face, a faded indigo linen tunic loose at the shoulders, and a woven sash. His hands are lean, knotted, and calloused from decades of rowing. A quiet, contented smile rests on his lips. Warm golden dawn light haloes his silhouette against drifting river mist, soft lavender and amber tones surrounding him. He radiates patient calm, humble wisdom, and deep peace. - The River Vendor Woman: A warm-hearted woman in her late 40s with a sturdy, capable build and sun-kissed golden-brown skin. Round friendly face, laugh lines around bright dark eyes, and glossy black hair tied back in a loose bun beneath a checkered cloth scarf. She wears a simple short-sleeved floral blouse in soft coral and rolled cotton trousers, with a woven bamboo hat hanging at her back. Her hands are quick and gentle as they cradle baskets of ruby lychee and white jasmine. Morning golden light glows on her cheeks against a backdrop of stacked fruit crates and mist-softened boats. She exudes bustling warmth, generosity, and quiet joy.
