The Prompt
A graceful green sea turtle glides slowly over a vibrant coral reef in crystal-clear turquoise water, sun rays piercing down in shimmering columns. Vertical 9:16, 35mm lens, camera tracks smoothly alongside the turtle at its pace, keeping it centered. The turtle's flippers stroke in slow powerful rhythm, a school of small silver fish parts around it, coral polyps sway in the current, light rays dance across the sandy floor. Mood is serene and weightless, palette of aqua blue, coral orange and sunlit gold. Photorealistic underwater cinematography, natural marine motion, crisp 8K detail on shell and scales, vertical framing with the turtle mid-frame.
