Café Window Reflection

A single 4:5 vertical photograph using a CAFÉ WINDOW REFLECTION — the couple is seen through the glass inside a warm café, while the soft reflection of the street (trees, a passer-by, parked bikes) is overlaid on the same pane. Afternoon. Warm, cinematic, layered.

There are TWO uploaded photographs — Partner A (female) and Partner B (male).

LOCK Partner A: full face checklist + natural hair.
LOCK Partner B: same checklist. Hairline preserved EXACTLY. Facial hair preserved exactly.

ANTI-BLEND CLAUSE: each partner's face exclusively from their own upload. The two faces never blend. Both recognisable independently.

REFLECTION FIDELITY: where either partner appears in the glass reflection, it is the SAME person, matching their real face, never blended. Real optics: the glass is SEMI-TRANSPARENT — the couple inside is clearly visible, with the street reflection a softer, partly-transparent overlay (the two layers read as one believable window). Real and reflection share one light and grade.

LOCK IDENTITY, RE-LIGHT THE REST (both partners): lock each partner's identity — bone structure, features and their spacing, permanent marks, true relative complexion (never lightened). Do NOT lock either upload's lighting — both faces are RE-LIT by THIS scene (warm café interior light).

FACE-BODY INTEGRATION & REALISM (mandatory — applies to BOTH partners):

1. ONE CONTINUOUS PHOTOGRAPH, NOT A FACE-GRAFT. For each partner, the head, neck, and body are one person in a single exposure — no visible seam, edge, halo, or pasted-on boundary at the jaw, chin, hairline, or neck; the face is not sharper or brighter than the body. Both partners belong to the SAME photograph — one light, one grain, one grade — not two cut-outs placed side by side.

2. SKIN-TONE CONTINUITY (no two-tone problem). For each partner, the complexion of face, ears, neck, shoulders, and hands is ONE consistent skin tone — their true complexion everywhere, never lightened, with no tonal step at the jawline or neckline. Each partner keeps their OWN complexion; the two are not averaged toward each other.

3. SCENE-MATCHED LIGHTING. Both faces are RE-LIT by THIS scene — warm café light on both partners' faces AND bodies, consistent with where each sits. Catchlights and skin highlights match the environment for both.

4. CORRECT HEAD-TO-BODY PROPORTION. Each head is anatomically sized to its own body. Do NOT enlarge either head. The two partners are in correct relative scale to each other.

5. HEAD POSE FOLLOWS THE BODY. Each head sits naturally on its neck, consistent with posture and the camera angle — no front-facing face on a turned body. Where the partners lean together, the contact is physically real and correctly occluded.

6. NATURAL NECK & HAIRLINE TRANSITION. For each partner, jaw flows into neck, neck into shoulders, hairline into scalp — soft natural anatomy, no abrupt mask-edge.

REPLACE from both uploads: any jewelry — replaced with soft casual accessories.

Wardrobe — soft café casual: coordinated soft knits / shirts in muted warm tones. Real fabric, well-fitted.

Pose and composition: the camera is OUTSIDE on the street, shooting through the café window. Pick ONE: (a) the couple at a window table leaning together over coffee, while the street's reflection (a tree, a cyclist) drifts across the glass over them; (b) Partner A looking out the window (meeting the camera), Partner B beside her, the street reflected on the pane; (c) the couple laughing inside, the reflection of the photographer's street softly framing them. Warm, layered, a little wistful.

Setting: a warm café interior seen through a large window — wooden tables, hanging bulbs, a chalkboard, plants; and reflected on the glass, a soft street scene (trees, a passer-by, parked bicycles, sky). Two coexisting layers.

Light — warm interior vs soft exterior: primary warm café light at around 3400K on the couple inside; soft daylight in the street reflection on the glass; faces clearly lit. Warm catchlights in all eyes.

Camera language: 50mm prime at f/2.0, full-frame digital, warm filmic grade, ISO 800. Focus on the couple inside, the reflection a soft overlay.

Colour treatment: warm layered palette — café interior glow, soft street reflection, muted wardrobe. Skin true to both uploads. The layered window-reflection register.

Skin handling: pores visible on both, warm expressions, facial hair (Partner B) preserved.

Aspect ratio 4:5 vertical. No text, no caption, no border, no watermark.
