Prompt
Create a photorealistic Minecraft-style screenshot showing {argument name="main subject" default="an adult man fishing from a folding camping chair"} beside a calm lake. Keep the human subject realistic and unchanged in proportions and clothing, but transform the entire environment into a bright blocky voxel world inspired by Minecraft.

He sits on a black collapsible camping chair on a stepped grassy dirt block shoreline. Surround him with tall square reeds and pixelated grass. The lake fills the right half of the image, with transparent blue blocky water, subtle square reflections, exactly 7 visible green lily pads scattered on the surface, and small white square highlights. Across the lake is a dense voxel forest with oak and birch trees, layered grassy banks, dirt blocks, trunks, leaves, and undergrowth. The sky is vivid clear blue with exactly 13 rectangular white block clouds at different sizes and distances. Use crisp sunlight, saturated greens and blues, realistic lighting and shadows, high-resolution game screenshot quality, strong contrast between the realistic person and the fully Minecraft-like environment, no UI, no text, no watermark.
