    "year": "Late 19th Century (American Frontier / Wild West Era)",
    "genre": "Western / Period Piece / Action / Americana",
    "location": "The wide, dusty main street of a wooden frontier town. Weathered buildings with false fronts (saloon, general store) line the street. The sun is setting behind them, casting long shadows. Dust hangs in the air. Tumbleweeds are optional but welcomed.",
    "lighting": "Dramatic 'Golden Hour' sunset. Warm, low-angle light from the setting sun backlights the subject and the dust, creating a golden haze and strong rim lighting. Long, dramatic shadows stretch across the street. The overall tone is warm and gritty.",
    "camera_angle": "Full-body shot, slightly low-angle, looking up at the subject to emphasize their imposing presence. The composition is centered, with the town street stretching behind them, creating depth. (1:1 composition).",
    "emotion": "Tense, confident, watchful, and ready for action.",
    "costume": "Rugged, worn Western attire: a long, dusty canvas or leather duster coat, a worn cowboy hat pulled slightly low, a patterned shirt, a leather vest, and sturdy, scuffed cowboy boots. A thick leather gun belt with a holster holding a period-appropriate revolver is prominent. A bandana is tied around the neck.",
    "color_palette": "Dominated by warm, earthy tones: dusty browns, burnt oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows from the sunset. The wood of the buildings is weathered gray and brown. The sky is a gradient of fiery orange, pink, and deep blue.",
    "atmosphere": "Tense, gritty, cinematic, and quiet. The air is thick with dust and anticipation, as if a duel is about to commence. A classic Western standoff feel.",
    "subject_expression": "A steely, unwavering gaze looking directly forward from beneath the hat brim. A firm, set jaw. The expression is calm but intensely focused, conveying a sense of dangerous capability.",
    "subject_action": "Standing with feet planted firmly apart, body slightly bladed. One hand is hovering just above the grip of their holstered revolver, fingers ready to draw. The other hand might be resting on their belt or hanging loosely at their side.",
    "environmental_elements": "Visible dust motes catching the golden light. The silhouette of a horse hitched to a rail in the background. A wooden sign for a saloon (e.g., 'Golden Nugget Saloon') is visible but slightly out of focus. The texture of rough wood and dry earth is palpable."
