Create a photorealistic portrait of a middle-aged African woman with distant blue eyes and a warm, welcoming smile. Her wavy chestnut hair, accented by delicate strands of gray, gracefully frames her face. The photograph is taken from a unique bird's-eye view, capturing her in a serene garden setting under soft sunlight. The warm light illuminates her through the lush green foliage, casting a dappled pattern of shadows and light across her face. The intricate lace patterns of her vintage sundress and the subtle veins in the vibrant surrounding leaves are highlighted, creating a beautiful harmony of natural elegance and timeless charm. This portrait evokes a sense of tranquility and peace.
