Background Swap That Keeps the Subject Exact

Replace only the background of the attached photo.

Keep: the subject exactly as they are, including face, hair, clothing, pose, framing, and scale. Keep fine edge detail such as loose hair strands and fabric edges.

Change: the background becomes {{new-background}} at {{time-of-day}}.

Light: re-light the subject just enough to match the new scene, with the light direction and color temperature of the new background, and add a natural contact shadow where they meet the ground.

Style: photorealistic, same camera angle and lens feel as the original. No halo around the subject, no cut-out look, no text.
