Capture a close-up of a young woman with soft freckles and deep blue-gray eyes gazing upward, under gentle, ethereal lighting. The scene should convey an underwater-like, surreal mood with a blend of shifting highlights and shadows across her face. Use dappled and directional lighting by positioning the light source above and to the side, mimicking sunlight through leaves or water. Employ a wide aperture (f/1.8 - f/2.8) for shallow depth of field, with moderate shutter speed (1/100 - 1/200) and low ISO (100-400) for clarity. Opt for a 50mm or 85mm prime lens to focus on her face while blurring the background. Frame the subject centrally, slightly below her chin, capturing light streaks emphasizing facial symmetry. A green and light yellow palette with warm skin tones contrasts against cooler backgrounds. Post-process with a subtle green tint, enhancing eye sharpness and adding a soft vignette. Adjust highlights, shadows, and contrast to accentuate freckles and texture. Her calm expression reflects the dreamlike setting, with minimal styling and natural hair. Emphasize intimacy and dreaminess through creative light and composition.
