Expand a too-tight photo by outpainting the edges

№ 90

№ The prompt

Extend this photo beyond its current edges [say which: e.g. on the left and right / on all sides] by generating surrounding scene. Continue the existing perspective, lighting, colours, and content so the new area blends seamlessly into the original. Do not alter, crop, or restyle the originally framed area, and do not duplicate or repeat the subjects. Where the scene cannot be plausibly extended, keep the new area simple and consistent rather than inventing new focal objects.
