Travel observation collage

Turn one travel photo into a light paper collage with attached doodle observers and a handwritten note.

Create one independent 2:3 vertical travel observation poster from one supplied photograph.

Travel scene and memory: {{brief}}
Handwritten note override: {{note}}
Doodle action override: {{doodle_actions}}
Reference image: {{reference_image}}

Keep the upper 50% as the original real photograph, preserving its subject, structure, natural light, color atmosphere, and photographic texture. Only make the minimal crop or natural background extension needed for the vertical page.

Build the lower 50% on warm ivory textured paper as a refined magazine cutout collage with light watercolor atmosphere. Extract the most memorable subject and only a few key environmental elements; remove clutter. Use a thin, irregular, lightweight white cutout edge, pale blue cloud or mist washes, and plenty of open paper so the result feels like an elegant travel notebook, not a children's illustration.

Add exactly three to five very simple black doodle people made from thin black lines and small black masses. Give them relaxed, lively actions such as sitting, peeking, looking up, climbing, observing, pointing, recording, resting, or interacting. At least one or two must visibly attach to or hang from the main subject or its structure.

Generate one short, casual, poetic English travel observation unless an override is supplied. Place it in black handwritten lettering in the lower-left or upper-left of the lower half with one loose underline. Keep it everyday and scene-based, never a slogan or advertisement. Return one clean poster only.

No multiple-photo collage, unequal split, repainted upper photo, realistic or detailed doodle characters, more than five doodle people, detached observers only, thick white border, heavy blue block, crowded lower half, promotional slogan, motivational quote, logo, signature, watermark, or unrelated scenery.
