The original prompt

Use case: photorealistic-natural. One genuine-looking candid NIGHT PHOTOGRAPH for the Neon afterhours collection. The supplied image is a reference for visual world, strong CYBERPUNK neon color and photographic credibility, not a scene to copy. Dense Hong Kong / Tokyo inspired old city: layered real buildings, tangled cables, working small businesses, old tile, stained concrete and hand-built signs. Electric pink and cyan remain intense at practical neon sources and nearby surfaces; small tungsten sources add believable warmth. Pale bright light cores, uneven aging tubes, realistic light falloff and dark pockets between sources. Physically real fixtures and weathered materials with their ordinary underlying colors. Rich blue-black and burgundy shadows, not a uniform cyan wash. Shot candidly at night on a full-frame camera with a 35mm or 50mm lens, ISO 3200, natural shallow focus and imperfect exposure. Fine photographic grain and modest motion softness where appropriate. Wet areas show short broken reflections; other surfaces are dry and matte. Architecture has believable construction and perspective. Natural multilingual shop signage is permitted as part of the street; no added titles, logos, watermarks or UI. Never illustration, plastic miniature, computer render, video-game screenshot, centered symmetrical neon tunnel, synthetic fog, futuristic robots, holograms, endless spotless neon strips, excessive HDR, oversharpening or perfect mirror streets. It must be neon-drenched and cyberpunk in feeling while convincingly photographed.

Required aspect ratio: 16:9.
Composition: Photograph from a real gritty rooftop ledge overlooking an extraordinarily dense night city. Old rooftop water tanks, antennas and ventilation stacks frame the bottom corners, with small saturated magenta neon on a neighboring facade right and cyan restaurant light far below left. Hundreds of ordinary warm windows dotted through dark blocks, glass office towers far away out of focus. Broad smoky blue-black SKY across CENTER and upper half for a closing headline. Real scale, layered atmosphere, dark exposure, no enormous fantasy skyline or staged person.
