Shop order held, but the water bowl sprouted a fountain jet.

Turn the attached 3D model image into a photorealistic architectural photograph. Keep the exact layout, camera angle and the position of every building, shopfront, sign, lamp post, bench and tree from the attached image. Only change the materials, lighting, weather and surroundings as described below.

Setting: a fresh spring morning. This side faces east, so low morning sun lights the fronts from the right. Camera high on the east side of the street looking west, 35mm lens.

The view: the whole west side of Market Row, the private courtyard street of the house, seen from slightly above, as if from the roofline of the opposite side. Show every shop listed below clearly, with its sign readable.

Every shopfront sits in its own bay between honed pale limestone pilasters, uplit at their feet, under a deep carved pale stone cornice; a slim bronze and glass canopy with a fine warm LED line runs along the fronts (not over the cinema or the garage). Above, the upper floor is a crisp grid of pale Portland limestone fins and slabs with tall bronze windows set deep, a band of clerestory glass on top, and a thin pale floating roof plate overhanging the street by nearly two metres with a fine LED line on its edge; the plates step up and down with the house sections and dark slate roofs rise behind them. All the stone is calm, even and pale with no marble veining. The street: pale granite pavements, grey granite setts laid in sweeping fan arcs, slim black modern lamp posts.

The shopfronts, left to right, exactly in this order and no others:
- Our Price (6 m front, an era hero front): a 1980s record shop, white aluminium frame, a long lit black fascia reading OUR PRICE in plain bold white capitals (no logo), windows full of record sleeves and posters with no readable titles, and a giant vinyl record sign on a bracket
- Lowther Gallery (6 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit; through the glass, white walls and a few large framed paintings on easels
- Abbott & Sons, Barbers (7 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit; through the glass, three vintage barber chairs in oxblood leather, a long mirror and a slim modern bronze barber pole beside the door
- Market Row Baths (narrow 3 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit, a single door and a slim window showing a pale stone stair going down, lit with a soft blue glow from the pool below
- Marlowe & Pike, Booksellers (6 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit; through the glass, floor-to-ceiling bookcases with a brass rolling ladder and a reading chair.

In front of the right half of this side, the sunken lightwell: about 7 metres square, a pale stone coping and frameless glass balustrade with a bronze handrail, looking down 4.5 metres into a planted florist's garden. Foreground: the granite square with the stone water bowl, birches in fresh leaf and benches. At the left edge, The Regal's marquee and blade sign turning the corner from the south side.

Style: high-end architectural photography, natural colours, crisp detail, real weathering and texture.

Avoid: changing the layout, theme park or film set look, twee chocolate-box cottages, plastic signs, modern glass boxes, real film titles or logos other than the shop names given, people, extra text.
