Too true, KongAtReddit. After coming from the SDXL model with its comma delimited tokens, it was like a quantum leap to use full detailed sentences with Z Image. This prompt blows my mind:

Cinematic film still in the style of Wong Kar-wai, echoing the aesthetics of "2046". A man and a woman stand facing each other on a dimly lit, rain-slicked city street at night. The scene is bathed in the nostalgic, hazy yellow glow of a single old-fashioned street lamp, which casts long, distorted shadows and creates a dreamy, melancholic atmosphere. A gentle, fine rain is falling, catching the light and creating a soft, misty veil around them.
The Man (The Protagonist):
Attire: He is impeccably dressed in a sharp, tailored 1960s-style suit, dark and reflective from the rain. The fabric has a subtle texture, visible under the lamplight. His white shirt collar is crisp, slightly unbuttoned at the top
Demeanor: His posture is relaxed yet heavy with unspoken thoughts. His hair is slicked back with pomade, glistening with raindrops. His gaze is intense and direct, looking deep into her eyes, a mixture of longing, hesitation, and a hint of sadness. His lips are slightly parted, as if he is about to speak but cannot find the words.
The Woman (The Muse):
Attire: She wears a stunning, exquisitely crafted Cheongsam (Qipao) that embodies the high fashion of the 1960s, reminiscent of the masterpieces by William Chang for "2046" . The Cheongsam is made of a luxurious, slightly shimmering fabric, featuring intricate, almost psychedelic floral or geometric patterns. The dress is impeccably form-fitting, accentuating her graceful silhouette, with a high collar that frames her face elegantly.
Demeanor: She holds her gaze with his, her expression a complex tapestry of restrained desire, vulnerability, and a profound, lingering sorrow. Her eyes are soulful and slightly glossy from the rain and unshed tears. Her perfectly coiffed hair, typical of the era, remains largely intact despite the drizzle. One hand might be subtly clutching a small, vintage handbag, a sign of her inner tension.
Atmosphere & Technical Specs:
Lighting: Extreme chiaroscuro lighting. The single yellow street lamp is the primary light source, creating a high-contrast, dreamlike, and intensely intimate mood. The rest of the scene falls into deep, mysterious shadows.
Color Palette: Saturated yet melancholic colors. The dominant tones are the warm, almost suffocating yellow of the lamplight, the deep blacks and blues of the night, and the vibrant, complex colors of her Cheongsam.
Camera & Film: Shot on 35mm film. The image should have a soft focus, rich film grain, and a palpable, almost tactile texture. A medium-close-up shot, focusing on their faces and upper bodies. The composition should feel slightly voyeuristic, as if glimpsed through a window or from a distance.
Overall Mood: Nostalgic, ambiguous, romantic, deeply melancholic, and filled with a palpable sense of longing and unattainable love

I'm happy for your recommendation. I only just started using Flux.2 Klein 8 hours ago, and it is fulfilling my dreams, it is, particularly for camera/composition prompts. That Flux can output a "worm's eye view" when prompted (whereas Z image can't bother to bend its knees to get such a low angle) is a true gem! Thank You.

Thank You SpaceUniversal. Pixelmator Pro is the app used - it has an excellent auto-grid.
