Neo-Noir Cinematic Street Photography in Subway

A detailed prompt for generating a neo-noir cinematic street photograph of a young woman standing on an underground metro platform at night. It emphasizes the contrast between the still subject and a blurred, rushing train, using artificial fluorescent lighting, neon accents, and a cool-toned color palette to convey urban isolation and reflection.
