Tap water building a real wave in a clawfoot tub with figurines riding it. Tilt-shift focus is what sells the change of scale.

## Prompt

Copy the text below exactly into Workroom with Nano Banana 2 selected to reproduce this result.

Surreal photorealistic miniature scene inside a pink bathtub. The camera looks down at an angle along the length of the tub. A chrome retro faucet with two knobs is visible at the top-left, reflecting light. The tub is filled with moving water that looks like a small ocean: foamy waves, translucent crests, splashes and ripples. The water has a slightly gray-blue tint, contrasting with the pink enamel.

Tiny miniature surfers (human figures) ride the waves on small yellow surfboards. Some are standing on the board, one is crouching/paddling, another sits low near the crest. A few additional tiny figures float in the water in the distance. The scale is intentionally absurd: realistic bathtub fixtures + tiny surfers create a “giant world / miniature people” illusion.

Lighting: warm directional sunlight like late afternoon coming from one side, creating bright specular highlights on the water and soft shadows on the pink tub surface.
Composition & optics: strong shallow depth of field / tilt-shift miniature look — foreground wave and one surfer sharp, background quickly falls into blur; macro photographic realism; crisp water texture and sparkling highlights.

Color grading

Overall tone: warm, cozy “sunlit bathroom” look with a slight nostalgic film feel.

White balance: slightly warm (peachy highlights), but keep water in cool gray-blue to separate it from the pink tub.

Contrast: medium contrast; protect highlights on water sparkles (no harsh clipping), keep wave detail in midtones.

Saturation: moderate; emphasize pink enamel and yellow surfboards as playful accents; keep water saturation controlled.

Highlights: strong specular highlights with soft bloom/halation on the brightest glints.

Shadows: soft, slightly warm shadows (pink bounce light), avoid crushing blacks.

Finishing: subtle film grain; slight lowered clarity in far background for miniature/dreamy vibe; gentle vignette optional.

Palette keywords: warm sunlit pink, cool steel-blue water, golden highlights, miniature tilt-shift, dreamy realism.
