Any aspect ratio
A subject begins transforming mid-motion into a mermaid, with legs gradually dissolving and merging into a shimmering fish tail covered in iridescent scales. The transformation flows seamlessly as the subject dives into water and begins swimming gracefully underwater. Long hair floats naturally with the current, while soft light rays pierce through the water surface. Bubbles rise around the body, and fabric and particles drift gently. Dreamy ocean atmosphere with blue-green tones, soft glow, cinematic lighting, smooth magical transformation, ultra-detailed textures.
