Turn photos into layered paper scenes

Transform the attached photo into artwork in this style: Layered paper scene.

Essential elements: [subject]
Palette and mood: [palette]

Rebuild the entire landscape as a handmade layered cut-paper illustration viewed straight on. Construct hills, sea and trees from broad individually cut matte paper shapes, with subtle visible fibers and slight irregularities along scissor-cut edges. Use shallow physical overlap shadows to distinguish five to seven major depth planes, not dozens of contour-map rings. Form small houses from simple paper rectangles and pitched roofs. Keep foreground shapes broad and distant shapes restrained. No drawn outlines, photographic textures, glossy plastic, text scraps, decorative objects or deep theatrical shadows.

Use the attached photograph as the only visual reference. Preserve its camera viewpoint, major silhouettes, relative positions, and recognizable subject. Simplify fine details without adding objects. Produce only the finished artwork, not a comparison, mockup or framed print. Keep the original landscape aspect ratio, at least 1400 pixels wide. No text, lettering, logos, signature or watermark; omit any signage visible in the photograph.
