A broken, soul-crushed medieval knight
{
"subject_and_scene": {
"main_subject": "A broken, soul-crushed medieval knight kneeling in defeat, his eyes glazed with tears and trauma; his shattered armor is caked in dried mud and fresh blood. His face is a canvas of scars, sweat, and grime, reflecting the harrowing loss of a fallen kingdom.",
"action": "Gripping his sword's hilt with trembling hands as if it's the only thing keeping him from collapsing; his chest heaving in rhythmic, heavy gasps of despair.",
"environment": "A desolate, windswept battlefield at the edge of an ancient forest; a hazy, ethereal fog rolls over the ground, partially obscuring the distant, smoldering ruins of a castle. Petals or embers are caught in the wind, drifting past his face."

A Moment Shared with the Wild
Create a photorealistic image of me and a wild ${wild_animal} taking a spontaneous selfie together in the animal’s natural habitat.
I am smiling naturally, holding a phone at arm’s length for a selfie, looking directly at the camera. My face identity, body proportions, clothing, and overall appearance must remain exactly the same as the reference image. Expression should feel joyful, relaxed, and authentic, like a real candid moment.
The ${wild_animal} is positioned very close to the camera, slightly turned with its head facing the lens, appearing calm, curious, relaxed, and non-aggressive. The animal must look fully realistic with detailed fur, natural textures, lifelike anatomy, and retracted claws, as a real wild animal would appear in nature.
Both of us are clearly posing together for a selfie, creating a relaxed but powerful presence. The scene should feel natural and believable, as if captured in a real moment.
Camera & Composition:
Close, handheld iPhone-style selfie angle, arm-length distance
Slight wide-angle distortion typical of phone selfies
Informal, slightly off-center framing
Shallow depth of field focused on me and the ${wild_animal}
Lighting:
Natural outdoor lighting with warm tones
Soft shadows and gentle highlights
Subtle sunlight lens flare if appropriate
Background:
Authentic outdoor environment typical for the ${wild_animal} (jungle, forest, savanna, grassland, etc.)
Natural elements softly blurred in the background
Effects:
Very subtle motion blur near the edges
Gentle photographic softness on background edges
Minimal film-like grain for realism
Natural color balance with a slight warm tint
Important rules:
Preserve my face identity and clothing exactly
Keep realistic animal anatomy and behavior
No third-person camera angles
The image must feel like a real, candid iPhone selfie taken in the wild
