Japanese Film Color Grading Prompt

Please only perform professional color grading and lighting optimization on the original photo, strictly preserving the original composition, object positions, cherry blossoms, trees, water reflections, and aspect ratio, without adding, deleting, or changing any objects. Adjust the overall tone to a high-end, restrained, quiet Japanese film style, presenting the serene atmosphere of an early spring Japanese garden. Moderately brighten shadow details in woods, banks, and ponds, restoring layers of tree trunks, shrubs, and water surfaces, but preserve deep shadows, do not lift black areas to gray. Lower sky highlights and blue saturation, adjusting the sky to a transparent, calm gray-blue, avoiding overly vivid colors and HDR effects. Highlight central cherry blossoms, making flowers natural pale pink-white, adding soft sunlight transparency and delicate layers, not pure white or fluorescent pink. Adjust green plants to low-saturation moss green, forest green, and slight olive green, reducing yellow-green and digital feel. Maintain water surface as deep cyan-black, enhancing subtle reflections and fallen cherry blossom layers, making reflections clear but not sharp. Use soft highlights, deep shadows, medium-strong contrast overall, slightly increasing warm-cool contrast between warm sunlight and cool shadows. Add slight film haze, natural halos, fine 35mm film grain, and soft sharpening, referencing Kodak Portra 400 and Japanese film photography for colors, aiming for realistic, natural, implicit, airy, and high-end feel. Prohibit changing composition, prohibit adding cherry blossoms, clouds, buildings, people, or lights, prohibit generating new branches, prohibit changing seasons, prohibit overexposure, crushed blacks, HDR, oversharpening, fluorescent green, vivid blue skies, heavy filters, oil painting feel, illustration feel, and AI redraw feel. Final effect must look like professional color grading of original RAW photo, not regenerating an image.
