Photorealistic coherent anatomy, natural skin, believable light. Avoid Pacific limestone karst towers, Maldives overwater villas, giant Hawaiian cliffs, fantasy reefs, mainland-city skylines. Extract and faithfully reconstruct ONLY the main upper hero photograph: expansive crystal turquoise bay, low green volcanic island hills along the upper edge, sandy beach and dark rocky shoreline sweeping up the right, two orange sit-on-top kayaks in the lower-right water, sunlight on ripples. Keep the left half mostly open water for website text added later. Show one Black Caribbean adult woman with dark brown skin and tied-back natural textured hair in one kayak and one Latino adult man with medium-brown skin in the other, both actively paddling and wearing properly fitted life vests. Their scale and positions should remain very close to the reference. Show realistic USVI coastal vegetation and modest distant hillside buildings; no invented identifiable landmark. Preserve the luminous teal palette and exhilarating outdoor feeling. No text."

A Black Caribbean adult woman with deep-brown skin and neatly secured braids, mask/snorkel and practical swimwear glides horizontally through the right-center with ample space above a modest natural reef. A second adult snorkeler with lighter brown skin is small in the background, as an ordinary companion. Nobody touches or stands on coral. Caribbean sea fans and subdued brown/tan coral, not neon Pacific coral or clownfish. Warm light refracts from the surface. Preserve the original sense of action and composition. No text."

A rocky footpath on a sunlit low Caribbean coastal ridge, looking over blue water and several low green islands. Keep the leading hiker and panorama composition from the mockup, expand plausibly to a wide scene. Two adult friends actively hiking: a Black Caribbean man with deep-brown skin and short natural curls carrying a daypack, and a White adult woman with a practical hiking shirt and daypack a little farther along. Natural relaxed movement, not a posed diversity advertisement. Plausible St. John dry coastal scrub, low woody vegetation, scattered small agave and barrel cactus; no giant saguaro or high alpine cliffs. Stay on the path, sensible footwear, no precarious precipice pose. No identifiable exact trail, no structures, no text."

Extract and reconstruct ONLY the lower-right island-food photograph as a full landscape asset. Keep the close view of a brown hand squeezing lime over a beautifully grilled split Caribbean spiny lobster on a plate, with a sunny open-air seaside table and turquoise water softly out of focus behind. The lobster must be a Caribbean spiny lobster with long antennae and NO giant Maine-style front claws. Add a small serving of johnny cakes and plantains at the plate edge, not a cluttered banquet. In the softly focused mid-background show a candid group of three adult friends enjoying food together: a Black Caribbean woman with dark-brown skin and natural curls, a mixed-race Caribbean man with medium-brown skin, and a light-skinned woman. They are diners sharing a day out, not an anonymous service-role stereotype. Preserve the reference's lime-squeezing action, rich warm food tones and coastal feel. No restaurant name, menu, price, text, brand or claim of an actual dish served by a particular business."
