## Prompt and Settings

Copy prompt

A clear tide pool holds purple urchins, green anemones, and pale shells beneath a black basalt ledge. Small waves spill over the rock lip and scatter bubbles across the surface. The open sea and low horizon sit beyond the pool. A 35mm camera looks down at a 3:2 angle from wet stone. Overcast coastal light softens reflections. Naturalist photography style, sharp rock grain, transparent water, restrained color.

## Why This Prompt Works

This nature image uses a tide pool as a layered subject, with marine life, stone, foam, and horizon all visible at once. The basalt ledge and downward camera angle carry the composition for Z-Image-Turbo, creating depth without needing dramatic effects. Overcast light is important because it reduces glare, letting the model describe transparent water, rough rock, bubbles, shells, and living forms clearly.

## Recreate It in Private Diffusion

1.  Paste the prompt into Studio and choose Z-Image-Turbo.
2.  Set Size to XL and Aspect Ratio to Landscape 3:2.
3.  Type 1525196716 into Seed. On a Mac, switch off Randomize first.
4.  Paste the negative prompt into Negative prompt.
5.  Switch off Rewrite description (Rewrite Prompt on a Mac) so Studio keeps the prompt word for word.
6.  Switch on Max quality (slower).

Those are the settings that made this picture, and they run on your own Mac with 24 GB or more, with nothing uploaded.
