"Picture perfect"

Is there a way to say "picture perfect" in Spanish? I want to keep all of the English phrase's connotation, because I want to use it ironically in this sentence:

Quizá en la mente de la señora Consuelo, eso es un cuento de amor perfecto—y, efectivamente, es [picture perfect],

implying that the love is beautiful like a picture but shallow and empty. (If there are any other problems with the sentence, please let me know.)


According to the translator, "picture perfect" = "imagen perfecto". Is that right?

No se puede decir "es una imagen perfecta", sin "ésa"? - Soninmyeyes, Oct 19, 2010
Sí se puede, pero suena mejor así, creo. Tiene más énfasis. :) - amy_moreno, Oct 20, 2010

That's it except that I think it's feminine, so 'imagen perfecta' smile
